47 goals, 21 assists – Watford’s attack would receive a much-needed edge by signing this 24-year-old star
Why Watford should reignite their interest in playmaker Gaston Pereiro
According to a previous report from Watford Observer during the summer transfer window, Watford were interested in signing Uruguayan playmaker Gaston Pereiro from PSV Eindhoven.
However, a move to English football never really materialized for the attacking midfielder and the 24-year-old continued to ply his trade with the Dutch giants.
Watford, of course, would then go on to complete a club-record deal for Senegalese winger Ismaila Sarr, while England international Danny Welbeck also made his move to Vicarage Road on a free transfer earlier in the summer.
Boosted by such high-profile signings, the fans at Hertfordshire would have expected their team to push on and challenge for better things this term after a wonderful run to the final of the FA Cup last season but Watford’s nightmarish start to the campaign is likely to have left them bitterly disappointed.
The Hornets are currently languishing bottom of the table after failing to win any of their first seven league games and suffering defeats on five occasions, with the ignominy of an 8-0 defeat against Man City clearly summing up their recent form.
Quique Sanchez Flores has taken over the reins from Javi Gracia at the helm of affairs but even the managerial change hasn’t had much of a positive impact on the team’s woeful performances. It’s still early stages in a 38-game season but the possibility of relegation to the Championship is already looming large.
Watford have shipped as many as 20 goals in their first seven league fixtures while scoring only 4, with the Hornets currently sharing the joint-worst scoring record with Newcastle United.
To that end, defensive reinforcements should be a top priority for Sanchez Flores in January but the Spaniard should also be aware of his team’s struggles in front of goal.
Gerard Deulofeu and Roberto Pereyra have teased the fans with flashes of brilliance but neither of them has been able to provide that much-needed creative spark on a consistent basis.
In other words, Watford, as a team, have struggled to carve out too many clear-cut opportunities, despite boasting of star attackers likes Welbeck, Sarr, Pereyra and Deulofeu.
To put things into perspective, Watford need to adopt some desperate measures in January to prevent a horror season and while there is still plenty of time to go before the transfer window reopens, they need to start exploring the possibility of going back in the market for Gaston Pereiro.
The 24-year-old left-footed playmaker has hit great heights in the Eredivisie at PSV Eindhoven since his move from Uruguayan club Nacional back in 2015.
Pereiro has accumulated an envious tally of 47 goals and 21 assists in 148 appearances for the Dutch giants, hitting double digits in terms of goals in each of his four seasons and guiding the club to two domestic league titles.
Gaston Pereiro, who currently has 4 goals in 9 senior international appearances for Uruguay, is a central attacking midfielder by trade who is noted for his innate ability to create space in the final third and torment the opposition with his guile, trickery and vision.
Furthermore, the Uruguayan international is a powerful shooter from range and has the general nous to make intelligent runs into the box to score goals.
A sharp, agile and technically-gifted playmaker, Pereiro is also a recognised set-piece specialist and is more than capable of making an impact with his impressive all-round game.

Watford need a quality playmaker to get the best out of players like Pereyra, Deulofeu, Sarr and Welbeck and Pereiro could be the man who they have been crying out for in a bid to improve cohesiveness in the final third.
That said, the Hornets should definitely consider a swoop for the 24-year-old Eredivisie star in January, as it might prove to be the difference between survival and relegation.

Celtic dealt major blow in pursuit of Bologna star Aaron Hickey
According to La Nazione (h/t Daily Record), Fiorentina have intensified negotiations with fellow Serie A club Bologna for the signing of Celtic target Aaron Hickey, dealing a blow to the Hoops.
Hickey started out at the academy of Scottish club Heart of Midlothian FC and briefly spent time at Celtic as well before returning to Hearts, where he graduated to the first-team and went on to make 34 senior appearances.
The young left-back, who scored and assisted one goal apiece for his boyhood club, was snapped up by Serie A side Bologna in the summer of last year. Hickey did not feature regularly for the Serie A outfit due to injury problems. Indeed, the 19-year-old featured in just 12 games throughout the 2020/21 season.
But his stock remains high as ever, as Celtic are intent on bringing him back to Scotland this summer. The Hoops, embarking on a new journey under new manager Ange Postecoglou, are looking to bolster their defensive department.
Having decided not to sign Diego Laxalt permanently, Celtic have just Boli Bolingoli and Greg Taylor as options at left-back, with the former unsure of a future after returning from loan. So, signing someone like Hickey, who can make the spot his own for the coming years, would have been a good move.
However, Fiorentina seem to have thrown a spanner in the works for Celtic as the Serie A side have upped their efforts to land the youngster from Bologna. Indeed, it is reported that La Viola have intensified negotiations over a move, although they will have to offer at least €5m to stand a chance of signing the teenager.

Bologna are in no hurry to sell Hickey and will wait for the highest bid as they look to maximise their profits. It is now up to Celtic to step up in their pursuit of the 19-year-old or risk missing out on him.
Transfer News: Rangers star Glen Kamara wanted by Everton
According to transfer news from Eurosport (h/t Glasgow Live), Premier League club Everton have entered the race to sign Glen Kamara from Scottish champions Rangers this summer.
Kamara started out his youth football in his homeland, Finland, before switching to England in 2011 when he signed for the Southend United academy. A year later, he was snapped up by Premier League giants Arsenal, where he rose through the youth ranks but couldn’t break into the first-team.
After loan spells away at Southend United and Colchester United, Kamara left Arsenal permanently in the summer of 2017, signing for Scottish club Dundee FC. The 25-year-old Finnish midfielder rose to prominence with the club and was picked up by Steven Gerrard’s Rangers in the winter transfer window of 2019.
During his two-and-a-half-year stay at the Ibrox Stadium, Kamara has developed into one of the best midfielders on show in the Scottish Premiership. The Finland star played an integral role in the Gers’ title victory last season as he racked up over 50 appearances in all competitions, scoring and assisting a couple of goals apiece. (h/t Transfermarkt)
However, Kamara’s time at the Ibrox Stadium could be drawing towards a close, with Everton joining a number of other clubs in pursuit of the ex-Arsenal youngster. Indeed, the likes of Watford and Brentford have already shown an interest in the 25-year-old while an unnamed Russian club is also keen, with the Toffees also joining the bandwagon.

Given how important Kamara has been for Rangers in his time at the club, his potential departure would come as a blow. However, with his contract expiring in two years and with so many teams interested, this also represents the Gers best chance of making good money from his sale, which they can reinvest in the squad.
With a transfer fee of £15m being mentioned, the Light Blues could stand to make a massive profit, having signed him for a measly £50k in 2019.
