Championship Club Could Sign Arsenal Young Talent In January Transfer Window

Giorgi Chakvetadze has quickly emerged as an outstanding player for Watford, impressing fans with his technical skills and creativity on the ball during the ongoing 2024/25 Sky Bet Championship campaign.

The Georgian international has become an important player for the Hornets early this season, with remarkable performances, having started the campaign with a stunning 30-yard free-kick in the opener against Millwall.

The goal not only marked the beginning of his season but also equaled his tally of one goal from the previous year.

At just 25, Chakvetadze is seen as a potential long-term asset for Watford or perhaps a player who could fetch a hefty transfer fee, aiding the club in rebuilding its squad ahead of a potential return to top-flight football.

His ability to deliver incisive passes is highly noticeable, as he has created 30 chances this season, the third-highest in the Championship.

Known for his skillful dribbling and ball-carrying abilities, he can easily glide past defenders.

Under the guidance of Watford’s new manager, Tom Cleverley, Chakvetadze’s match-winning qualities are beginning to shine, especially after a period of adaptation to the new environment last season.

Reports reveal that Wolves are eyeing a potential move for Chakvetadze in January, with Watford reportedly asking for £20 million.

Amid ongoing speculation, the club may need to consider replacements, and there are a few promising options on the radar.

One potential target is Kwame Poku from Peterborough United, who has attracted interest from several Championship clubs.

Poku, capable of playing as a winger or attacking midfielder, would bring flair and creativity to Watford’s attack.

Last season, he scored 12 goals and provided eight assists, showcasing his goal involvement and proving clinical in front of goal.

Another option is Ethan Nwaneri from Arsenal. The highly-rated young midfielder could fill a creative void at Watford and gain valuable first-team experience away from the Emirates Stadium.

A loan move might suit all parties, allowing him to showcase his skills in the Championship and prove his quality ahead of his long-term future with the North London giants.

David Brooks from AFC Bournemouth could also be a good candidate. Although not the fastest player, Brooks’ dribbling and playmaking ability make him another strong option for the club.

His knack for chipping in with goals and creating chances makes him an appealing choice, especially if Watford faces the prospect of losing Chakvetadze in January.

A loan with an option to buy could be an excellent move, providing Watford with a dynamic playmaker to bolster their attack in the fight for promotion to the top flight.
