Huddersfield is ready to sign Germany-based Super Eagles’ defender, Leon Balogun from Mainz in its first swoop for next season, reports thesun.co.uk.
Balogun, 29, is a free agent at the end of his contract and is set to join the Terriers after having talks over the move.
The Berlin-born defender plays centre half but can also turn out at full back and would join the German colony at the club.
