Watford signing this 23-year-old Ligue 1 ace would take their attack to the next level
Why Maxwel Cornet would be a smart signing for Watford
Back in January, the Independent had claimed that Watford were interested in signing Lyon forward Maxwel Cornet, but a move didn’t materialise.
Maxwel Cornet, 23, is just one of the talents to progress from Lyon’s youth system and into the first team in recent years after being bought from Metz as a teenager. He had an injury-hit 2018/19 Ligue 1 campaign, yet the versatile forward bagged seven goals and five assists in 27 games.
The Ivorian is yet to hit top form this campaign, with Lyon struggling and currently find themselves 12th in the table. Nonetheless, Watford should reignite their interest in the Lyon star when the transfer window reopens next month.
The Hornets have endured a disastrous campaign of their own in the Premier League which sees them battling against relegation. However, they have found some stability under Nigel Pearson, who replaced the sacked Quique Sanchez Flores earlier this month.
The players have responded to Pearson’s demands and style of football by beating Manchester United and drawing with Sheffield United.
Reinforcements are a must in the mid-season trading period and Pearson should prioritize signing a defender, considering his side have the third-worst defensive record in the division. Other than a central defender, they also need a forward to reduce the burden of scoring goals off Troy Deeney and Gerard Deulofeu’s shoulders.
Having said that, someone in the mould of Maxwel Cornet would make an instant impact at Vicarage Road. The 23-year-old forward, who can play on either flank or through the middle, is a silky dribbler and oozes flair on the ball.
The Ivory Coast international uses his technical superiority to beat defenders with ease and has the composure to pick out the right pass in any situation.
The Lyon ace has a lethal left foot with which he has scored a lot of stunners. Plus, Cornet is a composed finisher in front of the goal.

In the video below, one can get a glimpse of the 23-year-old’s style of play and the qualities he would bring to Watford if a deal goes through.
Verdict
Cornet would perfectly Pearson’s style of play, potentially forming a lethal attack with the likes of Deeney, Deulofeu and Pereyra. He is versatile enough to play anywhere across the front-line and would offer some variety in an attacking sense as well.

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.
