Ismaila Sarr has been linked with Jesse Marsch’s Leeds United and Eddie Howe’s Newcastle United, and the Watford star’s goal against West Bromwich Albion in the Championship last night shows why he is in such demand.
Leeds and Newcastle United linked with Watford’s Ismaila Sarr
FootMercato reported last week that Leeds want to sign Sarr from Watford to replace Raphinha, who moved to Barcelona earlier this summer.
It was also FootMercato who reported last month that Watford are looking for €35 million (£29.57 million) for the 24-year-old winger.
Well-known and well-respected journalist Dean Jones told GiveMeSport in June that Newcastle want to sign Sarr from Watford in the summer transfer window.
According to talkSPORT in July, West Ham are considering a bid for the Senegal international winger.
Wonder-goal against West Bromwich Albion
Sarr was in action for Watford last night, and his stunning goal impressed Arsenal legend Ian Wright.
The Hornets played out a 1-1 draw with West Brom away from home at The Hawthorns in the Championship on Monday evening.
Sarr scored in the 12th minute with a spectacular David Beckham-style chip from his own half.
As you can see from the tweet below, Wright was stunned, and we can safely say that we all were impressed with one of the best goals we will ever seen.
