Player finally set to join club after Watford exit – Big expectation after weeks of negotiations

Following a summer exit from Watford, Andres Aguillar now has a new club to play for.

According to Peruvian outlet Depor, the midfielder is on his way to Sporting Cristal.

It’s said there are just a few details left for Aguillar to fly to South America and start training with his new club.

Depor claims that the negotiations with the former Watford player have been taking place for a few weeks now, and they hope to have him for the 2024 season.

The story highlights how the youngster had shown ‘big potential’ in the Hornets’ youth ranks, so there’s quite an expectation around his signing at the Peruvian side.

Despite being born in Stevenage, Aguillar has Peruvian and Spanish nationality.

Back at the start of the summer, when it was known he’d leave Watford, reports from the South American media claimed that he had offers from England, France and Germany. It seems those options didn’t work out for him, though.

Despite appearances in the FA Youth Cup, the midfielder never had the chance to make his debut for the Hornets’ first team.
