Watford have apparently been playing him out wide and transfermarkt isn't accurate Expand That’s why I was kinda hopeful for a short time that we’d get him and Ramos but that looks unlikely Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assume we’re signing him because he could also slot in and replace Wilson, if needed. Not sure it’s much of an upgrade though. Although it’ll be good to relegate Wood further away from the side.
