Striker Tyreece Simpson’s move to Huddersfield Town is getting closer to completion.

Reports over the weekend indicated that the clubs have agreed a fee, however, TWTD understands the deal is not yet done but is getting closer with personal terms under discussion.

Earlier this month, we reported that the 20-year-old was set to join the Terriers with discussions between the clubs having been ongoing for some weeks.

Towards the end of last season, Simpson, who scored 11 goals during a successful loan spell at Swindon in the first half of 2021/22, told the Blues he wanted to move on this summer having turned down the offer of a new contract in January.

In May, Town took up a one-year option on his previous deal in order to secure a fee which was likely to be higher than the training compensation they would otherwise have received.

Luton, Peterborough, Middlesbrough and Barnsley all showed interest during the close season and Town turned down a number of offers for the academy product with clubs not matching their asking price which was understood to be £600,000.

Simpson made two senior starts and five sub appearances for the Blues without scoring. This season the frontman hasn't featured for Town at any level.

BeattiesBackPocket added 14:46 - Aug 23 So many on here claimed dobra etc etc should be in the first team but why? If you're good enough you'll be there? Woolf us there? Downes and Dozzell were and have gone up the pyramid? Even under burley we only had dyer, scowy, wrighty and Naylor in our successful side over those years people make it sound like half the team should be kids but if they're not good enough OR under EVANS most the decent kids we're sold off before even reaching the under 23's the young lad who went to Man City being 1 of 4 in 1 and a half seasons let go for money.

shadoof1016 added 09:08 - Aug 24 The boy Simpson has it all………..but it's in his head. Ask yourself why this deal is taking so long, the agent has him by the shirt and curlies. I think this is a great bit of business for Town and they are well shot of simply someone who has unfortunately a very large ego of himself.
