Watford and Swansea are today back on being linked to Bryan Reynolds.
The interest from the Championship sides had first been reported by journalist Tom Bogert in February. Back then, the 21-year-old had already been loaned from AS Roma to Belgian side Westerlo, who would like to keep him on a permanent deal.
Now the same source comes up with an update, once again speaking of Watford’s and Swansea’s chase for the player.
It’s reported that since Reynolds has picked up some caps for the United States’ national team, as well as being given minutes as Westerlo, that makes him eligible for a work permit for British football.
Bogert claims that the player ‘will leave’ Roma this summer, as besides Watford and Swansea, there are also clubs from Belgium, Netherlands ‘and more’ willing to sign him.
So as things stand, there’s no sign of a pre-agreement with Westerlo for a permanent deal, and that can only be good news for the only clubs who are interested in his signing this summer.
The fullback is currently valued by Transfermarkt at €2.5m, which should be more than affordable for teams such as Watford and Swansea.
