Published on: 29 September 2026

Krepin Diatta is reportedly set to return to competitive football with Watford after agreeing a deal with the English club, according to Match360.

The 27-year-old Senegal international has been without a club for several months and is expected to join the Hornets until the end of the season. The move would give him the opportunity to revive his career in England and gradually rebuild his match fitness after spending an extended period away from competitive action.

Watford are not the only club to have shown interest in the former AS Monaco player. According to an exclusive report by Africafoot, Konyaspor have also made an offer for Diatta.

Diatta has previously played in European competitions during his time with AS Monaco and is now set to take on a new challenge in the Championship. His experience at the highest level, along with his ability to operate in different positions, could offer Watford additional options for the remainder of the campaign.

The reported move would also mark an important step for Diatta as he looks to return to a prominent role in professional football. Despite his recent lack of club football, his market value is estimated at 6 million euros by Transfermarkt.

Watford are due to play their ninth Championship match against Burnley soon. According to the odds cited in the source article, Watford are priced at 2.75 to win, a draw is listed at 3.30 and Burnley are 2.05 to secure victory.
