Those performances have got a number of Premier League clubs interested with Mooy unlikely to be making the breakthrough into Pep Guardiola’s star studded side net season.

The 26-year-old started in 43 of the regular Championship fixtures for Huddersfield and is now hoping to help the Yorkshire side to promotion through the play-off’s.
