Stoke City have been linked with Luis Palma – a player previously eyed by the Hornets this summer.- Watford have officially confirmed the signing of Giorgi Chakvetadze on a season-long loan from KAA Gent.
- QPR will be without Jake Clarke-Salter, Jimmy Dunne, and Jack Colback for their opening match against Watford due to various injuries and fitness concerns
- After a dismal 11th-place finish in the Championship last season, Watford have undergone something of a rebuild this summer.
Indeed, there have been plenty of outgoings at Vicarage Road in recent weeks, and whilst there have not necessarily been the incomings to match, steadily, the club appear to be moving in the right direction.
Social media is proof that expectations amongst supporters this season for the Hornets are limited, as Valerien Ismael prepares to take charge of his first competitive match as Watford boss this weekend.
Can Ismael and the Hornets defy expectations this season? We’ll see, starting on Saturday when Watford host QPR at Vicarage Road.
Despite that match being just days away, though, news in and around the club continues to roll in.
With that said, here is a brief round-up of the latest news and stories surrounding Watford FC.
- One of the most recent stories to emerge surrounding the football club is regarding a player that has been linked with the Hornets this summer – Luis Palma.
Last month, the Daily Mail reported that the Hornets were in talks with Greek side Aris Thessaloniki over signing the winger on loan.
- Since then, though, the move has yet to materialise and now, another Championship side have made a move for the player.
That is the case according to a very recent report from the Daily Mail, which reports that the Potters are ready to open talks over a potential loan deal for Palma
Rangers and Trabzonspor are also said to be keen on the 23-year-old Honduras international.
