One of the very interesting transfers Watford made in the summer was the loan signing of Juraj Kucka.
The soon to be 35-year-old arrived from Parma in Italy, but due to his age, a few eyebrows might have been raised about his ability to play week in, week out in the Premier League.
Well, the Slovakia International has proven to be a very astute signing for the Hornets, as he has made 19 appearances in the league so far, as well as scoring a goal.
The chance to play in the Premier League is something he clearly didn’t want to pass up, because he also had a chance to stay in Italy, with Spezia interested in his services.
He said: “I like Johan Hove, a Norwegian midfielder from Strømsgodet, and I hope to be able to return to the position soon. Then I would have gladly taken Kucka too, but he chose Watford.”
So, there you have it, Watford snapped the Slovakian right from under Spezia’s nose, who are currently 15th in Serie A after 24 games, a healthy eight points above the relegation zone.
