Huddersfield Town are considering axing their youth system.

The Daily Mail says sources insist chairman Dean Hoyle has discussed the possibility with Premier League bosses amid concerns surrounding the lack of youngsters making their first team.

Philip Billing is the only graduate in David Wagner's squad and the central midfielder was signed from Esbjerg in Denmark as a 16-year-old in 2013.

Huddersfield believe it may be better to spend money elsewhere, although the academy structure could stay unchanged after talks.

Another option would be to downgrade their status from Category 2 — one beneath the top level.

Huddersfield have been without an academy manager since Steve Weaver's departure a week before their first Premier League campaign started.
