Medical today: Fulham agree £3m deal for international - Exclusive
Huddersfield Town defender Terence Kongolo is undergoing a medical at Fulham today, Football Insider can exclusively reveal.
The Londoners have agreed a deal with the Championship club for the centre-back, 26, to join on a permanent deal.
A recruitment source has told Football Insider that Fulham are likely to pay a fee of around £3million for Kongolo after beating Sheffield United to his signature.
It will reunite the Holland international with the club where he spent the second half of last season on loan.
Kongolo only played two matches for Fulham due to a foot injury but that has not stopped them pursuing a permanent deal this summer.
The transfer is set to represent a huge loss for Huddersfield, who signed the Dutchman for a fee reported to be £18m in 2018.
This site broke the news in the middle of last month that Fulham had opened talks over signing Kongolo permanently and it was revealed yesterday those discussions had reached an advanced stage.
Huddersfield are keen to trim their wage bill after slashing costs following their relegation in May 2019.
Fulham have made it a priority to sign another defender after a difficult summer was followed by a poor start to the campaign.
Scott Parker's side have lost all four of their Premier League matches and conceded 11 goals along the way.
Kongolo has failed to add to his 60 Huddersfield appearances this season, partly due to injury but manager Carlos Corberan has revealed that uncertainty over his future is also a key factor.
