Championship standout Tom Ince joins Huddersfield

Huddersfield Town picked up one of the Championship's finest, Tom Ince, on Tuesday ahead of its maiden Premier League campaign.

The cost of the deal was undisclosed at the behest of Ince's former club Derby County, but The Mirror's David Anderson reported an £11-million fee earlier on Tuesday. That sum could set a new club record, surpassing the amounts already paid for Aaron Mooy and Laurent Depoitre this summer.

Ince, the son of ex-England international Paul, has scored 37 goals in the past three second-tier seasons predominantly from the wing, and signs a three-year contract in West Yorkshire.

"Everybody in England knows that Tom has high quality; he has been one of the best players in the Sky Bet Championship for many years now," manager David Wagner told the club website. "He scores goals, creates them for others, and is always a threat when he's on the pitch, so I'm very happy to welcome him to the club today.

"To have played over 250 games at just 25 years old is not normal; it's great experience for a player who still has lots of space to improve."

With bags of pace and stamina, Ince appears primed for Wagner's preferred gegenpressing style.

Huddersfield begins its first top-flight season since 1972 with a trip to Crystal Palace's oft-raucous Selhurst Park home on Aug. 12.
