Report: Manchester City winger Patrick Roberts closing in on Huddersfield Town loan

Manchester City winger Patrick Roberts has reportedly emerged as a loan target for Huddersfield Town.

The 21-year-old has spent the last two-and-a-half years on loan at Celtic, scoring 18 goals in 79 appearances for the Scottish giants.

Roberts was included in City's pre-season tour of the United States and made substitute appearances in the International Champions Cup matches against Borussia Dortmund and Liverpool.

Although the former Fulham man hinted last week that he would be interested in going back to Parkhead for a third spell, Sky Sports News claims that Roberts will instead opt for trying his luck in the Premier League.

Roberts began his career at Craven Cottage before a move to the Etihad Stadium in July 2015 and has played three times for City.
