Watford Announce Signing of Ismaila Sarr in Club-Record Deal From Stade Rennais

Watford have announced the long awaited arrival of Senegal international Ismaïla Sarr in a club-record deal from Stade Rennais.

The 21-year-old has been one of European football's hottest prospects for some time and even made an impact in last season's Europa League, starring for the Ligue 1 club during the first-leg of their tie against Arsenal.

Despite being linked with a number of sides in European competitions this summer, Watford have confirmed they've won the race to sign the Senegalese forward in a club-record deal.

Sarr has signed a five-year contract at Vicarage Road and becomes their sixth signing of the summer transfer window.
