Notts County are linked with Huddersfield Town midfielder Tom Iorpenda after his successful loan spell at Meadow Lane. The 21-year-old impressed in League Two, making 15 appearances for the Magpies.
What happened?
Derby County have reportedly expressed interest in signing Huddersfield Town midfielder Tom Iorpenda after his loan spell at Notts County. The 21-year-old has only made 15 appearances at senior level for the Terriers, but has shown promise in the fourth tier.
Why it matters for Notts County
Notts County's head of football Roberto Gagliardi praised Iorpenda's athleticism and technique when he signed him on loan last summer. The midfielder has been heavily involved with Huddersfield's first team over the last two seasons and was unfortunate to have his momentum halted by a back injury.
What comes next?
Derby County finished eighth in the Championship table last season and may see Iorpenda as a valuable addition to their squad. However, Huddersfield Town may be reluctant to let him go, especially if a bid is tabled. Notts County's next fixture is vs Wycombe (at home, 2027-01-16).
