Yaser Asprilla has been a cut above the rest at Vicarage Road this season, European giants are circling

With just one win in their last seven Championship matches, Watford have seen their play-off hopes dashed in the last few weeks.

The Hornets went from front-runners for the top six to mid-table also-rans in a little over a month, as they currently sit in 11 points off of sixth-placed Hull City.

That miserable run of form has left Valerien Ismael’s position under threat at Vicarage Road, and will more than likely see them playing their football in the second tier once again next season.

That is likely to see a number of top-profile names leave the club to go on to bigger and better things, with one of those being Yaser Asprilla; the man with the golden touch for the Hornets.

Asprilla has been the shining light in a Watford team that has been largely hit-and-miss this season, with the 20-year-old’s creativity, flair and eye for goal providing flashes of quality that has largely been lacking from the Hertfordshire outfit this campaign.

You only have to look at two of his last three appearances to see the quality that he possesses; with sumptuous strikes against Norwich City and Rotherham United adding to his one-man highlight reel from the 2023/24 season.

That only tells half the story of Asprilla’s season so far though, with six goals to his name only striker Mileta Rajovic has found the back of the net more for the Hornets in 23/24. Add in the five assists he has to his name and no one has more goal contributions than the Colombian.
