Jamie Paterson says he remains open to a permanent move from
Nottingham Forest to Huddersfield Town – thanks to head coach David Wagner.
Speaking after the defeat at Derby County, in which he made his 26th Town appearance and 18th start, the on-loan Forest forward, also believed to be a target of Brentford, said: “I have been crying out for a manager like this.
“I enjoy playing for him, as do all the lads at the club, and he is showing faith in me.
“I am enjoying my football at the moment and that wasn’t happening at Nottingham Forest.”
Asked about a possible permanent switch, the former Walsall player, 24, said: “It is down to the two clubs rather than myself.
“I think negotiations have been going on but what stage they are at I don’t really know.
“But as long as I am enjoying my football I am happy and we will see what happens.
“I am just waiting patiently in the background.”
Paterson, who joined Forest in 2013 and is contracted to them until 2018, is one of five loan players at Town alongside Aston Villa keeper Jed Steer, Middlesbrough left-back James Husband, Brighton, Wigan Athletic midfielder Emyr Huws and Hove Albion winger Elvis Manu.
He has scored five Town goals.
