Wolves have set their sights on acquiring Watford’s Giorgi Chakvetadze during the upcoming January transfer window as per reports.
As stated by The Sun, the Premier League club is considering making a move for the talented 25-year-old in the winter market.
Chakvetadze, the Georgian international, initially joined Watford on loan in the summer of 2023 before securing a permanent deal with the club in February.
Having amassed 46 league appearances for Watford, Chakvetadze has contributed with two goals and six assists during his time with the team.
The player is under contract with the Championship side until the summer of 2029, providing Watford with a strong position in potential transfer talks should they arise.
Justin Beattie, a Watford fan pundit at FLW, expressed that any bid from Wolves for Chakvetadze should be substantial to sway the club this January. Beattie highlighted the player’s importance to the team and voiced his hesitance towards a potential mid-season departure.
Chakvetadze, who has been a linchpin in Watford’s starting lineup, has been pivotal to their strong start in the league campaign under Tom Cleverley.
With Watford setting a £20 million price tag for Chakvetadze amidst Wolves’ interest, the figure appears reasonable given the player’s significance to the team and the duration of his contract.
Despite Wolves potentially offering an attractive prospect for Chakvetadze, Watford’s advantageous position suggests that a substantial bid will likely be necessary to facilitate any potential transfer, especially midway through the season.
