Huddersfield are in talks to sign Montpellier forward Steve Mounie for a club record fee, according to Sky sources.

The Terriers broke their transfer record earlier this week to sign Belgium forward Laurent Depoitre from Porto and Sky Sports News HQ understands talks to bring Mounie to the club are progressing well.

Montpellier coach Michel Der Zakarian claimed on Monday that Mounie had already left the club and was set to undergo a medical in England.

"Steve Mounie has left. He will have a medical before signing in England," Der Zakarian said.
