Norwich City and Fulham are ready to pounce after Huddersfield Town’s Nahki Wells rejected a new contract according to a report from the Telegraph.
The Terriers have been keen to get Wells signed to a new contract to make sure that his long term future remains at the John Smith’s Stadium but talks have broken down. Since he moved to the club in 2014 from Bradford City for a club record fee of £1.5m, he has been one of their star players and was their highest scorer last season after he netted 18 times. However while Huddersfield have certainly done brilliantly this season, they sit 4th in the Sky Bet Championship, Wells hasn’t continued his goalscoring form and has only scored three times since August.
Despite that, Huddersfield wanted to keep one of their star assets and had offered him a new contract which would have made him the top earner at the John Smith’s Stadium. But even with that proposed hike in wages, Wells has decided to turn down the new deal and that has raised the interest of their rival Championship clubs.
Norwich have had an interest in wells for a while now as they look to add a top quality striker so that they stay involved in the promotion race in the second half of the season. Fulham are also looking to sign a new forward to partner up with summer loan signing Chris Martin and they think that the Bermudan international would be the perfect partner for the Scot.
