Mathias Jorgensen will buy a Christmas drink for every Huddersfield fan who makes the 472-mile round trip to Southampton.

Jorgensen, more widely known by his nickname Zanka, has made the festive gesture to thank supporters for their consistent support of the Terriers.

The 27-year-old defender took to Twitter this week to record a special message for fans, informing them he wanted to do something special to reflect his appreciation.

Filming a short clip from his car, Jorgensen said: "Your support this year has been truly amazing therefore I thought I would think up something special for those of you travelling to Southampton on Saturday, I hope you like the gift, Zanka Claus out."

Following up his cryptic message, Jorgensen further informed fans: "Use these tokens at the Stoke game on Boxing Day. Your support has been amazing so this round is on me."

The Denmark international joined the Terriers from Copenhagen in July and has since helped the West Yorkshire club reach 11th place in the Premier League.

Jorgensen's generous gift could be set to cost him upwards of £8,000, as Huddersfield supporters have an allocation of 2,596 for Saturday' fixture at St Mary's.
