Earlier this month, journalist Christian Martin stated Brighton & Hove Albion have made contact to sign Watford’s Yáser Asprilla. The Seagulls aren’t the only Premier League side as Newcastle United are also in the mix.
That’s according to Antena 2, who state the 19-year-old wants to leave the Hornets and has four ‘real options’ this summer. Brighton and Newcastle are two of them.
Earlier claims talked about Real Madrid’s interest but this possibility has been dismissed. They state Real Sociedad are the only La Liga side to have shown interest in the Watford player.
A move to The Amex will see the youngster feature in the Europa League while Newcastle can offer Champions League football next season. The fourth option for the player is to move to FC Porto.
Watford are in the Championship and Asprilla’s desire is to make a switch to the top division. Therefore, Antena 2 state he ‘would force’ a move, if there’s a firm offer.
