Ismaïla Sarr showed what all the fuss is about by producing a quite brilliant performance as Watford thrashed Bristol City in the Championship.
The winger's agent has claimed Liverpool had a £35 million deal agreed to sign him in January, only to pull out due to their defensive injury crisis. Liverpool have been interested some time, even if their position in the league table has fluctuated from season-to-season.
Man Utd have also tried to sign Sarr on loan in the past.
For now the 22-year-old remains at Watford but on the evidence of his play on Saturday it is only a matter of time until he gets that big move.
