Huddersfield Town are preparing a bumper offer for AS Monaco fullback Almamy Toure.

Toure is a top target for Olympique Marseille chief Andoni Zubizarreta, who is keen to close a deal for January.

However, France Football says Huddersfield are now in talks with ASM about a fee for Toure, 21.

The Terries are willing to offer €18m for Toure, confident they can see off competition from OM to sign the youngster in the coming weeks.

Malian Toure has spent his entire senior career with ASM.
