Watford is reportedly on the verge of announcing their third signing of the summer transfer window, an unnamed left-back with Championship experience, according to the Watford Observer.
This move signifies a proactive approach to the transfer market under new manager Paulo Pezzolano, who replaced Tom Cleverley.
The Hornets have already secured the services of midfielder Hector Kyprianou on a free transfer from Peterborough United and goalkeeper Nathan Baxter from Bolton Wanderers. The impending left-back signing, which is said to be a permanent deal, is part of Watford’s strategy to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season.
While discussions are ongoing regarding the potential loan return of Chelsea’s Caleb Wiley, Watford is keen to add another option at left-back alongside the American. This new acquisition suggests Pezzolano is quickly shaping the squad to his preferences.
The club’s swift action in the transfer market is seen as a positive step, allowing new players ample time to integrate and understand the new manager’s tactical demands. This early business, including shrewd free transfers, is hoped to set the tone for an exciting season as Watford aims for promotion to the Premier League.
The Pozzo family, owners of Watford, are reportedly focusing their attention on Vicarage Road, with the sale of their sister club Udinese said to be nearing completion. This renewed focus, coupled with early investment in the squad, aligns with the club’s ambition to push for a top-six finish and a return to the top flight after floating around the play-off picture last season due to a perceived lack of investment.
