Watford reportedly in talks to land former Millwall loanee

Watford are reportedly in talks to sign former Millwall loanee Callum Styles.

The Athletic are reporting that a fee is yet to be agreed with Styles’ parent club Barnsley.

Versatile Styles spent last season on loan with the Lions and made 22 appearances under Gary Rowett.

The 23-year-old played 43 times under now Watford boss Valerien Ismael while he was in charge of Barnsley.

Hungarian international Styles has two years left on his deal with the Tykes.

Barnsley chief executive Khaled El-Ahmad recently said: “For me it is quite simple. He signed a three-year deal and has two years on his contract and we start pre-season on June 26 and he will report to pre-season.

“Maybe with a couple of days extra off as he will be with the national team. But I see no difference with Styles to any other player at our club.

“He is a Barnsley player and we will discuss what is the best available opportunity or solution for the club – whether it is coming back or selling him. As of now, he’s a Barnsley FC player.”
