Ismaila Sarr is an early transfer target for Newcastle as the club attempt to build a squad capable of challenging the Premier League’s strongest teams.
Despite playing for a struggling side, the Watford winger has caught the eye during his time in the top flight and Sportsmail understands he is firmly on Newcastle’s radar.
Watford are unlikely to consider a January deal for the 23-year-old, who they believe is one of the top talents in the division.
Though Sarr is a different kind of player from Jack Grealish, Watford believe he has the potential to reach a similar level.
