Watford were at 19th position in the relegation zone last season. They dropped down to EFL Championship this season. But as the summer transfer window closes, Watford names have been rising. Hornets winger Ismaïla Sarr is now the prime target for Aston Villa and Crystal Palace.
One of the oldest and most successful clubs from Aston, Birmingham, is eager to bring Ismaïla Sarr to Villa Park. The Villans were at 14th position last season in the points table.

And now, the Villans manager is back in the transfer window for Ismaïla Sarr.
Another English club that is in the race for the Senegalese winger Ismaïla Sarr is Crystal Palace. The club from Selhurst, South London, were at 12th position in the points table last season.
