MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) - Huddersfield Town have signed Belgium Under-21 international winger Isaac Mbenza on loan from French Ligue 1 Montpellier, the Premier League club said on Thursday.
The 22-year-old winger joined the Yorkshire side on a season-long loan, with the club having the option to then make the move a permanent transfer at the end of the 2018-19 season.
The pacey Mbenza scored 10 goals in 26 starts and 17 substitute appearances for Montpellier last season.
"Isaac is a very exciting player and this is a great deal for Huddersfield Town for a player with such ability and potential. You do not play for Belgium at Under-21 level unless you have some outstanding attributes," Huddersfield manager David Wagner said.
Huddersfield's German central defender Michael Hefele has left the club to join Championship side Nottingham Forest.
