Watford’s Rocco Vata has grown in stature this season. The talent is now attracting attention from Fulham and Crystal Palace.
TuttoAtalanta take a look at the 20-year-old, who has scored two goals and has two assists in the current campaign.
The outlet report Atalanta have been scouting the Irishman but Crystal Palace and Fulham are providing ‘fierce competition’ in the race.
The two clubs have shown an inclination towards signing players from the Championship and Vata could be next. Eintracht Frankfurt are also interested and this could prove to be a threat for the Premier League sides.
Atalanta have been keeping an eye on the youngster for the last two years too. Torino and Frosinone have also tried to sign Vata in the past.
Fulham and Crystal Palace would have to pay between €8m and €12m for the attacker, whose valuation has increased over the past two years.
The report mentions that Vata is of interest to ‘half of Europe’, having joined Watford from Celtic in 2024.
The talent had scored three Championship goals in his first season at Vicarage Road. He is currently nursing a hamstring injury but it will not be a surprise if he keeps growing this season.
