Aston Villa deal for Watford winger Sarr collapses

Watford forward Ismaila Sarr's proposed move to Aston Villa has fallen through.

The Senegal international was expected to move to Villa Park after the clubs agreed a deal worth about £25m.

However, it is understood complications arose over the structure of the move and 24-year-old Sarr's personal terms.

It is not expected that the deal will be revived, although Villa defender Kortney Hause is still likely to move to Watford on loan.

Sarr scored 25 goals in 95 games for Watford after joining the club from French side Rennes in 2019 for a reported £30m.

He has 47 Senegal caps and was part of the team that won the Africa Cup of Nations earlier this year.
