"When we played West Ham I said a goal is coming soon and I scored for my national team and I was sure about that.

"I'm also sure that I've got the quality and the capacity to score goals and help Huddersfield. It will come."

The Terriers chase their first win on the road this season at Wolves on Sunday and Mounie admitted his goal drought was praying on his mind.

"I'm a striker. A striker who doesn't score goals – you think about that," he said. "My job is to score goals.

"As a striker you know you will be criticised if you don't score, but I have the right mentality.

"I support this criticism. I really don't mind. I know what I'm capable of and I know I will score."

The former Montpellier forward, signed for an undisclosed fee reported to be £11.44million in July 2017, cannot be accused of lacking passion.

Terriers boss David Wagner revealed after his side's recent first win of the season against Fulham that Mounie had delivered an impromptu dressing room speech.

"I don't know what you know about what I said," Mounie added. "I want to keep it inside because that was something very emotional.

"It wasn't about getting a prize for what I said. No. I said what I felt at that moment and that will stay inside the team."

Huddersfield will be without key defenders Mathias Jorgensen and Chris Lowe at Molineux so Wagner will be forced into changes.

Centre-half Jorgensen sits out a one-game ban and left-back Lowe is recovering from a shoulder injury sustained before the international break against West Ham.

Wagner must decide whether to retain his preferred five-man defence and hand a rare Premier League appearance to Jon Gorenc Stankovic in place of Jorgensen, or switch to a back four. Erik Durm is a likely replacement for Lowe.

"These are two important players in the team," Mounie said. "They started every single game since the beginning of the season, so we will miss two of our best players, but we'll have to deal with it."
