“We have the green light for Ismaila to🌸 leave Watford,” Thierno Seydi told Senegalese outlet APS ().

“In their strategy, nothing will stop him from leaving if they receive an inteꦯresting offer for him.

“But only the future will tell where he will end up. At 𝓰the moment there are rumours and interests in him, but nothing concret🔯e.”

As Newcastle have already potentially seen with Sven Botman, it may prove difficult to conv🐓ince Sarr that St James’ Park is the best move for him instead of Champions League football in🎶 Milan.
