Wolves linked with £20m Watford midfielder

Wolves are looking to make a move for Watford midfielder Giorgi Chakvetadze this January as Gary O'Neil's side continue to struggle in the Premier League this season.

The Sun reports that Wolves have made the Georgia international, who featured four times at Euro 2024 this summer, a 'top target' ahead of the New Year. Chakvetadze has grown to become a key figure under Tom Cleverley at Vicarage Road.

Watford paid £2.1 million to sign the player from Slovan Bratislava last February from and the 25-year-old has gone on to contribute two goals and six assists in 50 matches for the Hornets.

Chakvetadze only signed a new deal with Watford in September, so any swoop from the 19th-placed top flight side would not come cheap. A £20 million price tag is quoted as the Championship side's asking price.

Millwall revel in ‘momentum’

Millwall boss Neil Harris has celebrated his side finding some 'momentum' ahead of the busy run of Championship fixtures across the end of the calendar year. The Lions beat Swansea City 1-0 on the road on Saturday and are now unbeaten in their last four.

That run of form followed a tricky patch, made more difficult by injuries, but Harris believes his side has now come out the other end. He said: “It’s five goals conceded in ten games, and we still carry a threat at the top end of the pitch, which is important. We have found some momentum. We found a great spirit within the camp culture and the environment of the training grounds. Lads are enjoying it.

“First and foremost for any Millwall team, you can’t be questioned on effort or application or desire to want to play for the club and the lads have got that in abundance. We have got some real quality players as well."
