Krepin Diatta is reportedly close to returning to competitive football after reaching an agreement with Watford, according to Match360.
The Senegal international has been without a club for several months but is expected to join the Hornets until the end of the season. A move to England would give the 27-year-old an opportunity to revive his career, regain match fitness and gradually return to the demands of regular competition.
Diatta’s potential transfer comes after a period away from the pitch. He is familiar with European football, having previously played for AS Monaco, but a move to Watford would represent a new challenge in the Championship.
His experience and versatility could prove useful to Watford during the remainder of the season. The Senegalese player would also have the chance to establish himself again in a high-level football environment after remaining without a club.
According to information published exclusively by Africafoot, Konyaspor had also made an offer to Diatta. However, Watford are now reportedly in a strong position to secure his services.
Diatta’s market value is estimated at 6 million euros by Transfermarkt, despite his current free-agent status. If the move is completed, his arrival at Watford would offer him a route back into competitive football in England and the opportunity to regain an important role in the professional game.
Watford are due to play their ninth Championship match of the season against Burnley shortly. The betting odds listed by 1xbet make Burnley the narrow favourites, with a home win for Watford priced at 2.75, a draw at 3.30 and a Burnley victory at 2.05.
