Watford willing to let Danny Rose leave as Claudio Ranieri hails Hassane Kamara, Samir and Edo Kayembe deals

Watford boss Claudio Ranieri has confirmed that former Tottenham defender Danny Rose could leave the club this month.

Rose only joined the Hornets in the summer, arriving on a free transfer after his contract with Spurs expired.

The left-back signed a two-year deal then, but he could already be on the move now the transfer window is open again. Ranieri has confirmed Watford are ready to let Rose depart if they can find a new club for the 31-year-old.

“Danny is training. It’s a technical decision and we will try to do the best for him,” said Ranieri.

“I prefer another decision, but Danny is a professional, fantastic man. We train him and then if [it is] the best solution for him, we are very happy to help him.

“I don’t know [why it hasn’t worked for Rose at Watford]. I prefer other kind of players. He’s a good man, good player, but I decide it’s much better to change something.”

Watford have signed Nice left-back Hassane Kamara to replace Rose, while they have also landed centre-back Samir from Udinese.

And Ranieri revealed on Friday that K.A.S. Eupen midfielder Edo Kayembe will be joining as well.

“There is also Kayembe, the midfielder,” said Ranieri. “He is another left foot. He is strong. I think these three new players can improve the team.”
