Watford FC are set to begin a new era under the guidance of Alessio Dionisi, and the club is determined to keep its key players, including Nestory Irankunda, who has been linked with a transfer to West Ham United. The 20-year-old Australian winger has been impressive in the World Cup, and his performance in the 2-0 win over Türkiye has attracted attention from several clubs. However, Watford fan pundit Justin Beattie believes that the club will retain Irankunda's services, despite West Ham's interest. Irankunda was signed from Bayern Munich last summer for approximately £3.45m, and the Bavarian giants have a 50% sell-on clause. The player has posted nine goal contributions for Watford last term, and his fine finish for Australia has made him a sought-after player. West Ham's likelihood of making a move for Irankunda also hinges on whether Crysencio Summerville will leave the London Stadium, as the Dutch international has been valued at £50m by his current employers. Imran Louza, another Watford player, has also been attracting interest from Premier League clubs, including Everton and Fulham. The Moroccan international has been angling for a move away from Vicarage Road, but the club is keen to retain his services. With the new season approaching, Watford will be looking to strengthen their squad and make a push for promotion. The club has been well-known for chopping and changing managers, but Dionisi's appointment has brought a sense of stability to the team. The Italian has been handed a two-year contract, and he will be looking to make a positive impact on the team. Watford's latest campaign under Paulo Pezzolano, Javi Gracia, and Ed Still ended with a 16th-placed finish on 57 points, but the club is confident of improving its performance in the upcoming season.
