Overview
- Scouts from Liverpool, Manchester United and Newcastle attended Watford’s midweek win over Birmingham to watch the 20-year-old winger.
- TeamTalk reporting, echoed by Yahoo Sports and EPL Index, says nearly a dozen clubs tracked the match, with Brighton, Brentford and Sunderland among those interested.
- Liverpool have monitored Maamma repeatedly since his standout Under-20 World Cup in Chile, viewing his two-footed, either-wing profile as a tactical fit under Arne Slot.
- Watford are not planning a January sale but could be tempted by a major offer, having paid Montpellier less than £1 million for the player.
- A January move is viewed as unlikely with clubs positioning for summer, while a CaughtOffside piece cites RMC Sport in linking Chelsea interest and BlueCo’s Strasbourg as potential suitors.
