The agent of Ismaila Sarr has said his client has been given the green light to leave Watford, amid interest from Newcastle United.

One such club is Newcastle, who are looking to upgrade in the wide areas this summer.
It remains to be seen if the Magpies will get their hands on a man Mike Ashley reportedly tried to sign in both 2017 and 2019.

“We have the green light for Ismaila to leave Watford,” Thierno Seydi told Senegalese outlet APS (via The Sun).

Seydi had previously said about Sarr that ‘he has chances to leave’ the club.
So far this season, Sarr has scored give goals in 17 appearances.

He’ll undoubtedly have other clubs interested in him, but
