Huddersfield Town has lost out to Reading in the transfer race for Kyreece Lisbie, a highly sought-after League Two winger.

What happened?

The 22-year-old winger was having a medical at Reading after the League Two club accepted bids from the Royals, Sheffield Wednesday, and Huddersfield. Lisbie scored 11 goals and registered six assists in 45 league appearances last season.

Why it matters for Huddersfield Town

Missing out on Lisbie's transfer is a significant blow to Huddersfield Town's promotion ambitions. The Terriers have stagnated since their relegation to League One in 2024 and are looking to rebuild their squad. Lisbie's signing would have been a significant coup for the club.

What comes next?

Huddersfield Town will need to look elsewhere in the transfer market to strengthen their squad. The club has undergone significant changes in recent months, including the appointment of Martin Drury as permanent head coach. | Stat | Value | | --- | --- | | Lisbie's goals last season | 11 | | Lisbie's assists last season | 6 | | Reading's finish last season | 12th in League One | The Terriers will be looking to make a significant impact in League One this season and will need to bring in quality players to achieve their promotion goals.
