Watford Wrap Up 3 Deals Just Before Deadline Ends

Watford Wrap Up 3 Deals Just Before Deadline Day

There is just under 20 minutes until the end of the transfer window, and Watford have been very active. They have managed to sign three players before the deadline as they look to fight in the Championship.

The first is 28-year-old Stephy Mavididi from Leicester. He will be joining Watford on a season-long loan. They will have an option to buy; however, they don’t have any obligation to activate this option.

The next transfer is Soumaila Coulibaly from Strasbourg. The 22-year-old will join on a season-long loan as well. Standing at 6’2”, he will add some height and physicality to the side. It is likely this one could be made permanent based on his experience at the top level and his age.

🚨🟡⚫️ Watford have completed three signings: Stephy Mavididi on loan with buy option clause, same for Soumaila Coulibaly as both deals have been closed now.

Myron Bouadu also confirmed on one year deal plus two option.

The final deal is Myron Boadu. Joining from the Eredivisie, it will be an interesting move. However, the striker will add a new type of danger to the side. Having played at top clubs during his career, the Championship shouldn’t be the most difficult challenge for him. He joins on a two-year deal with an option for a further year.

However, it’s not all deals closed, as Riccardo Sottil’s move was called off. The 27-year-old winger will be staying in Italy with Fiorentina as it stands.
