Tyreece Simpson’s move to Huddersfield Town is close to being confirmed with the Terriers appearing to have inadvertently posted a video of an in-house post-signing interview with the striker on YouTube.

Fans of the Championship club spotted the video, which was subsequently removed by the club.

TWTD reported earlier this month that the 20-year-old was set to join the Terriers with discussions between the clubs having been ongoing for some weeks.

Last week reports claimed a fee had been agreed but, as we reported, there was still some work to do regarding the particulars of the deal and also personal terms.

Those matters have evidently been tied up and we understand formal confirmation of the long-anticipated switch is expected in the next couple of days.

Towards the end of last season, Simpson, who scored 11 goals during a successful loan spell at Swindon in the first half of 2021/22, told the Blues he wanted to move on this summer having turned down the offer of a new contract in January.

In May, Town took up a one-year option on his previous deal in order to secure a fee which was likely to be higher than the training compensation they would otherwise have received.

Luton, Peterborough, Middlesbrough and today’s opponents Barnsley all showed interest during the close season and Town turned down a number of offers for the academy product with clubs not matching their asking price which was understood to be £600,000.

It’s understood the Blues will receive a fee of £500,000 paid over a number of seasons plus top-ups potentially taking the move into seven figures and with the deal including a sell-on clause.

Simpson made two senior starts and five sub appearances for the Blues without scoring. This season, the frontman hasn't featured for Town at any level.

Churchman added 11:38 - Aug 27 Good luck to him and farewell. Glad he's managed to get his dream move to a massive club. Personally, I'm glad he's gone. He may prove to be the new Ronaldo, but I only want people at this club who want to be here. I don't care who they are.

Ipswichbusiness added 11:45 - Aug 27 On 13 August this year Huddersfield played at home and attracted a crowd of 18,614. On the same day we played at home and had a crowd of more than 23,000. Hopefully, we will be in the Championship next year. Nonetheless, I wish him well for his future career.

joshITFCporter added 12:07 - Aug 27 His career will end up the same as Kundai Benyu, can't say I've ever saw there be a proper player there. No big loss and a good fee for someone with very little experience

Edmundo added 13:51 - Aug 27 Can't blame the kid if we don't know the full story. However, I'm happy to give his money-grabbing parasite of an agent both barrels.

blue86 added 14:03 - Aug 27 Oldesworthyfan hits the nail on the head! Didn't want to play for town who brought him through the academy and developed him............I would say we are better off without him, Don't need 'characters' like him here. I wish him luck, but has left a slightly sour taste for me, as others have said its probably down to greed from him, his agent, or both?.... see ya!

Cadiar added 15:03 - Aug 27 I was surprised he turned Leicester Tigers down, one of the elite rugby teams in the country. He's deluded if he sees Huddersfield as a massive club, they really haven't achieved much although a much older club than Ipswich to my knowledge they have never played in Europe, might be wrong but I'm not nterested enough to check. Doubt he'll make it somehow

ringwoodblue added 08:53 - Aug 28 I somehow doubt he will be the next Jordan Rhodes who made the same move all those years ago. Good luck Ty.
