Kiko Femenia, a defender for Watford, is being watched by Villarreal ahead of a possible
transfer next week. With Serge Aurier already leaving on a free transfer, the Yellow Submarine
are searching for full back options for the upcoming 2022–23 season.

After moving from Alaves in 2017, the seasoned Spanish defender has spent five years at
Vicarage Road and can play throughout the back line. Following the Hornets' relegation,
according to reports from The Athletic, a transfer might be finalised for about £3 million, with
Mario Gaspar perhaps moving in the opposite direction.

Jose Luis Morales and Pepe Reina are the only recent additions according to Unai Emery's
prudent strategy throughout the summer transfer window.

As the club works on a revised agreement to bring Tottenham midfielder Giovani Lo Celso back
to the Estadio de la Ceramica next month, Aurier was one of five first team players released by
the squad.

According to a recent report from football.london, Tottenham Hotspur has won the fight to sign
Pau Torres from Villareal. Juventus are rumoured to have given up on trying to get this Spanish
defender, which has given the Lilywhites a big advantage in trying to sign their target this
off-season.

At the Estadio de la Cerámica, Torres put on a number of commanding performances in Unai
Emery's central defence. In 47 games played last season for the Spanish team on all fronts, he
scored six goals and provided one assist.

Based on his stats of 1.0 tackles, 0.6 interceptions, and 3.1 clearances per game in La Liga, the
Spain international has displayed great play on the defensive end of the field.
