NORWICH star Alex Pritchard is close to joining Huddersfield for £11million.
Terriers boss David Wagner is long-term admirer of the playmaker who starred for the Canaries in the FA Cup goalless draw against Chelsea on Saturday.
Wagner is keen to add more guile to his attack this month as the Yorkshire side look to seal Premier League survival after just two wins in their last 11 Premier League games.
Bournemouth have checked on Pritchard in recent months who missed the start of the season with an ankle injury.
However, SunSport understands the former England Under -21 star has agreed a four-and-a-half year deal at the John Smith’s Stadium.
Pritchard returned to action in November and Canaries boss Daniel Farke is desperate to keep his star man despite their slim chances of making the play-offs.
