Huddersfield Town linked with transfer move for Blackpool danger man Keshi Anderson

Huddersfield Town have been linked with a transfer move for versatile Blackpool danger man Keshi Anderson as they look to add attacking reinforcements to Carlos Corberan’s side for the new season.

The 27 year old can play either on the wing, as a second striker or as an attacking midfielder, and played most of his games on the right flank as he claimed four goals and five assists in Blackpool’s first season back in the Championship after promotion. He has just had a one-year extension clause triggered on his contract to prevent it from ending this summer.

Anderson set up Gary Madine’s goal to restore Blackpool’s lead at the John Smith’s Stadium on Boxing Day before the Terriers came back to win the game 3-2 – and now Football League World report that Town are considering making a move to bring him to the club this summer.

Anderson ranked tenth among regularly-appearing Championship players for key passes per game last season, according to WhoScored, as well as ranking 19th for successful dribbles per game and ninth in the list of the league’s most fouled players.

Town’s signings last summer concentrated on improving the defence, including bringing in one of Anderson’s teammates, Ollie Turton, alongside the likes of Lee Nicholls, Tom Lees and Matty Pearson.

Head of football operations Leigh Bromby has confirmed that this summer’s priority is on adding more quality in attacking areas in hopes it can spark another run at a promotion push following last year’s unexpected third-place finish and play-off final appearance.

Town currently look light on numbers in midfield after the retained list earlier this month confirmed that Carel Eiting and Alex Vallejo would be released while Danel Sinani’s loan from Norwich City
