Nestory Irankunda: Everton Eye Move for Watford’s Australia-Tanzania Winger

Nestory Irankunda, the Australia-Tanzania right winger currently at Championship side Watford, is being linked with a move to Premier League club Everton. The 20-year-old is under contract at Vicarage Road until 30 June 2030, meaning any deal would likely require a substantial fee, with his market value currently estimated at around €8m.

Everton are understood to be assessing wide attacking options as they look to add pace and directness in the final third, and Irankunda’s profile in the second tier has brought him into their thinking. A switch from the Championship to Goodison Park would represent a significant step up for a player still in the early stages of his senior career, but one who has already accumulated meaningful first-team minutes for Watford.

Irankunda’s dual Australia-Tanzania nationality also makes him a flexible option in terms of squad registration and potential international commitments, factors that Premier League clubs routinely weigh when targeting emerging players. His age and long-term contract give Watford a strong negotiating position, but they also make him an asset who could attract bids from top-flight sides seeking to invest in younger talent.

Watford, for their part, face a decision over whether to cash in on a player tied down for four more years or hold firm in the hope he continues to grow in value as a key wide option. With Irankunda locked into a deal until 2030, any immediate movement will depend on whether Everton translate their interest into an offer that persuades Watford to sell.
