Montpellier’s Isaac Mbenza completed a move to Huddersfield Town on a season-long loan deal on deadline day and the English club will have an option to buy him on a permanent deal next summer.
According to France Football, the forward was not the only player the Terriers were targeting from the Ligue 1 on Thursday. They claim the Premier League outfit were also looking at Marseille midfielder Saîf-Eddine Khaoui.
David Wagner wanted his side to secure the attacking midfielder’s services on the last day of the window and they were looking to sign him on a loan deal with an option to buy.
Huddersfield were left ‘without success’ in their efforts to sign the 23-year-old, whose future under Rudi Garcia at Stade Vélodrome remains uncertain. The report, however, does not mention why they failed to bring the Tunisian international to Kirklees Stadium.
