The Hornets defender has swapped Vicarage Road for the Liberty Stadium as he links up with the Championship Swans.
A number of Watford fans have taken to Twitter to give their thoughts on Ben Wilmot joining Swansea City on a season-long loan.
The highly rated 19-year-old centre-back becomes manager Steve Cooper’s second summer recruit to the Liberty Stadium, after Jake Bidwell.
Wilmot began his career at Stevenage, earning a call-up for England Under-19s after impressing in League Two, and went on to join the Hornets in May 2018.
In doing, Watford beat competition from several Premier League clubs, with both Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool claimed by The Mail have also wanted the defender.
Wilmot, who can also play as a holding midfielder, featured six times under Javi Gracia last season, twice in the Premier League, before joining Italian side Udinese on loan, where he made five appearances in Serie A.
Judging by the reaction of many Hornets fans on social media, it seems as though the Swans have landed a top, top player:
Wilmot, who will wear squad number 20, will go straight into training with his new teammates ahead of Saturday’s final pre-season friendly against Italian side Atalanta at the Liberty Stadium.
