Rocco Vata, a forward for Celtic Park, has a contract expiring at the end of the season, and Watford is interested in signing him, according to The Athletic.
Lately, Watford has encountered difficulty maintaining their push for a top six spot. They currently occupy the 12th slot in the table after being competitive to secure a play-off spot.
The Hornets are just one of several teams stuck in mid table. Therefore, the next season’s planning can already be in motion.
While completing the season strong will be Valerien Ismael’s top priority, they probably have a shortlist of players they might sign this summer. Vata, the Celtic kid, is one among them.
The 18-year-old has frequently played for Celtic Park’s youth team and has occasionally participated in the senior setup as well. However, The Athletic reports that Watford is hoping to sign him on a free transfer to Vicarage Road because his contract expires in June.
However, the article claims that in order to secure the move, they might have to pay £239,000 in compensation. While no other parties are mentioned, there is interest from other parts of Europe as well.
Vata will be an excellent acquisition for Watford if they can finalize the deal. He is not just someone who can contribute right away to the first team, but also in the future years.
In Scotland, he has showed flashes of his senior abilities. If he joins Watford in the Championship, the team will be hoping he can further develop his skills and elevate them.
Nevertheless, considering his youth, if a transfer happens, he might be sent out on loan once more if playing time is not assured.
