English
premier league side Watford are seeking to make Genk defender Omar Colley their
first summer addition after a fine season for the Gambian international.
Six-foot-three
Colley, a commanding centre-back, helped his club to the quarter-finals of the
Europa league during his first campaign with the club that he joined from
Djugarden last summer.
There
were reports around Christmas that the 24-year-old was being scouted by Premier
League clubs after his impressive performances, but Watford are now hoping to
land his signature and make him their first summer signing.
And
the Hornets are believed to be leading the race to bring him to England, with
at least one of the Hornets’ existing centre-backs expected to leave the club
this summer.
