Watford are willing to sell striker Luis Suarez for just £10 million this summer with Lyon and Napoli interested, according to The Sun (21 June, page 59).

When you consider that Nigel Pearson’s side are one of the lowest scorers in the Premier League, finding the net just 28 times in 30 games, you would think that they would be counting down the days until this prolific 22-year-old is heading back to Vicarage Road.

Suarez, after all, looks like the man to put a sting in the Hornets’ tail.

Like his Barcelona-based namesake, Suarez has enjoyed a prolific 2019/20 campaign.

He has hit the net 17 times on loan at Real Zaragoza in Spain, sparking interest from French giants Lyon and newly-crowned Coppa Italia champions Napoli.

But, according to The Sun, Watford are likely to cash in while they can with Suarez valued at £10 million.

If a Lyon or Napoli meets their asking price, the Premier League strugglers will make a substantial profit on a Colombian forward who has not made a single Watford appearance since arriving from Leones three years ago.

Though with Troy Deeney not getting any younger, and with Andre Gray once again struggling to perform on a regular basis, you would think that Pearson and co would get some use out of the most lethal hitman on Watford’s books.
