Newcastle United winger Rolando Aarons is set to join Huddersfield Town.

The Evening Chronicle says Aarons, who was close to leaving for the Terriers back in the summer, will be the first of several fringe players to move on.

It's understood talks are at an advanced stage to revive a deal which only fell through in the final moments of the summer transfer window.

Terriers chairman Phil Hodgkinson said Aarons was the club's "top target": "Unfortunately we couldn't get it done (in September) and that's life and it happens, but we still are confident that he's the right player, so rather than bringing someone in at the last minute or bringing in someone else…

"He's our top target, he remains so, and what we'd rather do is get through the next 10 weeks to January and get it done then rather than bring in somebody that maybe doesn't tick all the boxes Rolando did."
