The Hornets boss Slaven Bilic is said to be in the market for attacking reinforcements, and according to The Telegraph, Man United’s Pellistri has been emerged as a prime target.

The 21-year-old midfielder joined the Red Devils from Penarol in October 2020, he was introduced as a late substitute against Charlton Athletic in the EFL Cup.

However, there has been widespread speculation surrounding the Uruguay international’s future, with a number of elite clubs thought to be interested in his signature.

Pellistri racked up 35 appearances for the La Liga outfit, representing the club during the 2020-21 and 2021-22 campaigns.
