Newcastle United’s interest in Watford’s Ismaila Sarr has intensified in recent days - with the Magpies able to fit the winger into their summer spending budget.
The 24-year-old is set to be in high demand this summer, with Newcastle one of several clubs who have already sent scouts to Vicarage Road. Watford’s relegation looks all but confirmed and they will need to offload their £65,000-per-week star to stabilise financially.
Sarr has scored five goals and made two assists in the Premier League this season, although his campaign has been hampered by injury and the burden of playing for a poor Hornets side - although his year was improved by his African Cup of Nations win as part of the Senegal team.
