Watford have picked up Leicester City midfielder Hamza Choudhury for a season long loan, in one of only a few Foxes movements in the summer transfer window.
The midfield has become a heavily populated area at the King Power Stadium, with the rise to first team status of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and return from loan of Dennis Praet, meaning Choudhury at this point is surplus to requirements and would not have featured in Brendan Rodgers’ plans.

West Bromwich Albion and Watford, who incidentally drew with one and other 1-1 at the Hawthorns last night, were both said to be keen on acquiring Choudhury’s services, with West Brom boss Steve Bruce a long-time admirer. During his time at Newcastle, Bruce was hoping to take the middleman on loan, but a deal never materialised.
