Watford sign ex-Montpellier forward Maamma

Othmane Maamma is Watford's sixth signing of the summer

Watford have signed teenage forward Othmane Maamma from Montpellier for an undisclosed fee.

The 19-year-old is a Morocco Under-20 international and has signed a four-year-deal at Vicarage Road.

Maamma played 14 league games for French side Montpellier in the 2024-25 season and scored two goals.

Aged 18 years and 226 days, he became the club's third-youngest ever goalscorer during a 2-2 draw with Lens in May 2024.

Predominantly a right winger, Maamma can also play on the left.

He becomes the Hornets' sixth signing of the summer after the arrivals of Vivaldo Semedo, Hector Kyprianou, Nathan Baxter, Marc Bola and James Abankwah.
