Huddersfield Town have snapped up Charlton Athletic striker Karlan Grant on a three-and-a-half-year deal.

The 21-year-old is head coach Jan Siewert's first signing for the club and comes a day before the January transfer window closes.

Town have the option of extending the contract by a further year on a player who has scored 14 goals in League One this season.

Grant will wear the No16 shirt for Town. It's an undisclosed fee for a player reported to have cost a package £2m (£1.5m plus add-ons).

“As I do, this club believes in talented young players and Karlan certainly fits that description," said Siewert, whose tenure launched with a 1-0 defeat to Everton.

"He’s a player I’m delighted to have the chance to work with.

“Our recruitment team has put a lot of work into bringing Karlan here.

"Importantly, he is a natural goalscorer; he has that knack of knowing which movement to make and finishing chances.

“He offers us something different to our current options in that he always tries to play on the shoulder of the final defender, looking to run in behind.

"He’s an athletic, pacy player and will really fit our playing style.

“He’s only 21 and he will improve here, for sure; he’s an exciting English talent, for sure.

"He can play a big part in this club’s present and future.”

Grant can go straight into the squad for Saturday's Premier League trip to Chelsea, which would be his 30th appearance of the season.
