Now Watford are a Premier League side Hornets supporters should be prepared to read countless stories linking their club with moves for players across the globe. Unfortunately, very few are likely to be correct.

Transfer speculation websites have increased dramatically in recent years and even the smallest rumour can snowball.

So expect the Hornets to be potentially, perhaps, taking a look at, casting a glance at or carefully eyeing a host of players in the coming weeks and months.

If every rumour was correct the Golden Boys would start next season with a squad of 50 plus, but that is not to say there isn't truth to some of them.

Watford fans have had a small taste of these speculation stories since the Pozzos' arrival but they will now increase.

The first of these stories has come from Italy. The Hornets have been linked with a move for full-back Sime Vrsaljko.

The 23-year-old Croatian plays for Serie A side Sassuolo and represented his country at last summer's World Cup.

He will undoubtedly be known to the Pozzo family. Does that mean he is likely to join Watford? Of course not. Does that mean he won’t? Again, of course not.

If you throw enough darts one will eventually hit treble 20, however, Hornets fans should take the majority of these rumours lightly.
