“He’d be a top signing” – Huddersfield Town eye summer move for Manchester City player: The verdict

This article is part of Football League World’s ‘The Verdict‘ series, which provides personal opinions from the FLW writers regarding the latest breaking news, teams, players, managers, potential signings and more…

Huddersfield Town are interested in a summer move for Manchester City attacking midfielder James McAtee, as per a Patreon report from Alan Nixon. 

The report states that the Terriers will face competition from Swansea City, after what was a mightily impressive season from the 19-year-old.

McAtee predominantly played for the club’s U23s last season, scoring 18 goals in 23 Premier League 2 matches, adding a further seven assists in the process.

However, he was called up into the first-team on a few occasions, featuring in the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup and League Cup.

Three of our writers here at FLW have shared their thoughts regarding Huddersfield’s interest in the Manchester City starlet…

Man City have produced many exciting young talents in recent years, with McAtee another highly rated prospect.

This would be an interesting signing, with the midfielder having already earned a couple of appearances for Pep Guardiola’s first team.

That shows how highly regarded he is at the Etihad that the Catalan has afforded him these opportunities.

Huddersfield will also be looking to strengthen the side regardless of what division they compete in next season.

However, this move may yet depend on the outcome of their play-off final against Forest.

This could potentially turn out to be a clever move by Huddersfield as McAtee excelled at Under-23 level for Manchester City last season.

The attacking midfielder provided 25 direct goal contributions for his side in the Premier League 2
