Lossl brings quality to Terriers, says boss Wagner

Huddersfield Town boss David Wagner has hailed new signing Jonas Lossl as a “modern goalkeeper” who will fit in seamlessly with his squad.

Lossl has joined the Terriers on a season-long loan from German club FSV Mainz 05.

The 28-year-stopper made 34 appearances in all competitions for Mainz last season. He is a Danish international, and won his only cap against Scotland in March 2016.

Lossl has featured in France and his native Denmark, and Wagner believes he will bring undoubted quality to the West Yorkshire outfit.

“As everyone knows, we were very successful with our loans last season and now we have had the chance to bring another high-quality player to the Club in this way.

“He was part of a club in Mainz that had a difficult season in 2016/17 and that is why we have this rare chance to take a player of his quality on loan. I trust and believe in his talent and potential.

“Jonas has all the skills that you want from a modern goalkeeper; he is a good shot-stopper, he is a real presence and he is good with the ball at his feet too.

“I also know he is also a good character; a real family man, who speaks fluent English. He will fit in perfectly with our squad.”
