Could Huddersfield Town have players from two Premier League clubs pulling the strings as they aim to make an impact in the Championship?

Australian international Aaron Mooy is putting the finishing touches to a season-long loan from Manchester City.

And Town’s ambitious head coach David Wagner is being linked with a similar deal for Chelsea’s England Under 21 star Kasey Palmer.

Mooy, 25, has just joined Manchester City after impressing for their sister club Melbourne City.

The one-time Bolton Wanderers player who also had a stint in Scotland with St Mirren will play as an anchor midfielder in David Wagner’s 4-2-3-1 system.

But of the two, he will be the one who pushes forward during attacking phases in the manner of Emyr Huws, who came on loan from Wigan Athletic last season.

Sydneysider Mooy, who has returned to the UK after four years back in his homeland, scored 11 times and contributed 21 assists for Melbourne last season.

He has netted five goals in 16 full internationals, making it easy to see his appeal to Wagner.

Comments from Mooy’s agent Paddy Dominguez make it clear Town’s German boss is creating a positive impression in both the English game and further afield.

Manchester City will see the John Smith’s Stadium as being a fertile developing ground for a player who has signed a three-year deal at the Etihad.

And Chelsea could well take the same view as they aim to turn Palmer’s undoubted potential into hard Premier League currency.

Now 19, he joined the Blues from Charlton Athletic in March 2013 after impressing against them in an FA Youth Cup tie and is contracted through to 2019.

He also produced a bright performance for Chelsea against Town in the same competition the season before last, when Chelsea lifted the trophy.

Palmer played for the Under 21s as early as 2013/14, when they were Premier League winners at that age level.

And he has featured in the UEFA Youth League successes of the last two seasons.

Last time around he notched 16 times at Under 19 and 21 level and was an unused substitute for the first team at Swansea City in April.

Palmer then featured for England Under 21s in their victorious Toulon Tournament campaign under Gareth Southgate.

He had previously represented the Three Lions at Under 17, 18 and 20 level prior to his first link-up with Southgate’s squad.

Palmer would be an ideal candidate for the ‘No10’ role often taken by Jamie Paterson in Wagner’s full-throttle system.

Town appear to have given up on their bid to sign Nottingham Forest’s Paterson on a permanent basis.
