Huddersfield ready to sign Dimitri Cavare and make French right back their TENTH summer buy
Rennes starlet is having a trial with the Terriers and impressed boss David Wagner in Saturday's friendly win over Barnsley
HUDDERSFIELD boss David Wagner is ready to sign French right back Dimitri Cavare in his latest swoop for the Premier League new boys.
The French right-back played for the Terriers in their 1-0 win over Barnsley on Saturday.
And he will line up again for Wagner’s side in Wednesday’s friendly with Italian side Udinese as he bids to clinch a move.
Cavare, 22, is free to move from Rennes after losing his place in the side last season.
He was highly-rated as a teenager and cost £1.5million from Lens in 2015.
But a severe knee injury has since stalled his progression and the defender has been limited to just two Ligue 1 appearances in as many years.
Huddersfield want a new right back to compete with skipper Tommy Smith having failed in a bid to buy Barnsley's Andy Yiadom.
Wagner has already made NINE summer signings since earning a shock promotion to the Premier League via the Championship play-offs last season.
