Huddersfield Town<\/a> top-scorer Karlan Grant is reportedly nearing an exit to one of the Terriers’ Championship<\/a> rivals.<\/p>\n

Karlan Grant: Huddersfield Town Receive \u00a315 Million Bid for Striker<\/h2>\n

Terriers Top-Scorer a Wanted Asset<\/h3>\n

Grant has been a stand-out player in a dire season for the Yorkshire outfit.<\/p>\n

The forward has netted 18 goals, the club’s top-scoring individual, as the Terriers edge closer to Championship survival.<\/p>\n

Despite their second-tier status being secured, the Terriers sacked manager Danny Cowley<\/a> on Sunday (July 19).<\/p>\n

And just a matter of hours later, the Terriers’ top-scorer has been linked with a move away.<\/p>\n

According to Ben McKenna of the Yorkshire Post<\/a>, a bid of around \u00a315 million has been placed by an unnamed Championship side.<\/p>\n

Grant made the move to the John Smith’s Stadium in January 2019 – a time when the Yorkshire side were still a top-flight team.<\/p>\n

The forward’s contract is set to run until summer 2022, and the Terriers also have the option to extend the deal by another 12 months.<\/p>\n

He finished the 2018-19 season, Town’s relegation season, as their top-scorer with four goals.<\/p>\n

The club rejected an approach from an unnamed rival in January.<\/p>\n

Huddersfield Town will likely look back on that decision last winter with pleasure having seen the downfall of rivals Hull City; the Tigers sold Jarrod Bowen to West Ham<\/a> and are to face an inevitable drop to League One.<\/p>\n

This season Grant has taken another step forward with his form in front of goal.<\/p>\n

The 22-year-old has netted 18 goals – ten more than nearest Terriers rival Steve Mounie – and added four assists.<\/p>\n

His impressive goalscoring record for the Yorkshire side has seen him become a regular fixture, making 42 appearances.<\/p>\n

Verdict<\/h3>\n

Having finished top-scorer two seasons in a row, Grant can no longer be referred to as a ‘one-season wonder’.<\/p>\n

The 22-year-old has been an ever-present figure in the Terriers side and, when goals have been needed, the former Charlton Athletic forward has stepped up to the plate.<\/p>\n

A return to the Premier League may be too soon for the 22-year-old; however, Grant would certainly fit in with a mid-table or top half Championship side.<\/p>\n
