Watford on verge of completing signing of Othmane Maamma from Montpellier

According to a report from Sacha Tavolieri, EFL Championship side Watford FC are on the verge of signing Montpellier’s Othmane Maamma (19) with the Moroccan U21 international currently completing his medical before he signs a four-year deal with the English club. The 19-year-old progressed through Montpellier’s academy and featured in 14 Ligue 1 matches last season, scoring two goals and providing one assist. Whilst the Hérault club were relegated to Ligue 2 after finishing bottom of the league last campaign, the Moroccan was one of the standout players who would look likely to move on. L’Équipe previously reported that Bundesliga side SC Freiburg were interested in the CAN U20 finalist with Morocco, and were willing to spend up to €3m on the player’s final two years of his MHSC contract.
