Under the guidance of Tom Cleverley, Watford has shown a remarkable level of consistency throughout the season, with one particular midfielder attracting attention from Premier League clubs. The weekend’s Championship action was successful for London-based teams, with Millwall and Watford securing wins, while QPR managed to grab a point against Burnley.
Millwall’s victory over Swansea City on the road and Watford’s bounce-back win against Blackburn Rovers showcase the strength and resilience of these teams. The impressive performances have caught the eye of Wolves, who are reportedly interested in signing Watford midfielder Giorgi Chakvetadze for a hefty £20 million. Chakvetadze, who has become a key figure under Cleverley’s management at Vicarage Road, has been a standout player for the Hornets since his arrival from Slovan Bratislava last February.
Despite signing a new contract with Watford in September, the 25-year-old midfielder has emerged as a top target for Wolves as they seek to strengthen their squad in the upcoming transfer window. With two goals and six assists in 50 appearances for Watford, Chakvetadze’s potential move to the Premier League could be a significant one.
Meanwhile, Millwall manager Neil Harris is delighted with his team’s recent form, describing it as a period of ‘momentum’ for the Lions. Following their victory over Swansea City, the team is now unbeaten in four matches, a testament to their resilience and quality. Harris believes that the spirit and determination within the squad, coupled with the presence of talented players, have been instrumental in their recent success.
As the Championship season progresses, both Watford and Millwall will aim to build on their recent achievements and continue their impressive performances in the league. With potential transfers on the horizon and a busy schedule ahead, these London outfits are poised for an exciting and challenging journey in the coming weeks.
