Max Johnston, currently with Sturm Graz, is the latest name linked with a potential switch to Watford. The defender could become a key signing should the move materialise, as the club seeks to strengthen in a key area of the pitch. Watford are still pushing to finalise terms. However, Panathinaikos and Derby County are still watching closely and may return with offers of their own. Defensively, Watford are sitting around the league average this season, at 1.25 goals conceded per game. Someone like Max Johnston could keep them steady but also raise the level when it matters most. Neither Sturm Graz nor Watford have been linked with any additional targets at this stage.
