Rangers and Arsenal are in the mix for teenage attacker Abdul Abdulmalik, but the Daily Mail now report that Watford are taking a look.
Abdulmalik showed real potential at Millwall, leading to boss Gary Rowett admitting last month that he would like to keep the striker at The Den.
However, Abdulmalik’s contract has expired, and he currently looks likely to leave the Lions tine the near future.
Portsmouth had a look at Abdulmalik, taking him on trial recently – only to decide not to sign him earlier this week.
An England Under-17 international, Abdulmalik is now training with Watford in an attempt to win a contract with the newly-promoted Premier League side.
Rangers and Arsenal are thought to have been watching Abdulmalik, but Swansea have offer £200,000 in compensation for the teenager.
Any club wanting to sign the 18-year-old striker will seemingly have to come up with a better package or the deal would end up at a tribunal.
Arsenal are always hunting for young talent, though some would wonder whether Abdulmalik is of the required quality if third-tier Portsmouth weren’t keen.
Rangers raided English football for a talented young striker last year when they signed Tony Weston from Blackpool, and Abdulmalik could be another exciting attacker to develop for the future at Ibrox.
