News about Keinan Davis

Norwich defeated Norwich 2-1 at Vicarage Road, denying them the opportunity to climb to the top of the Championship table. Imran Louza, who had earlier seen a penalty saved by Canaries goalkeeper Angus Gunn, volleyed Slaven Bilic's hosts ahead of Keinan Davis's doublet lead shortly after the half-hour mark. In the final minute of the first half, Josh Sargent pushed one back, but Dean Smith's visitors now rank third, ahead of Sheffield United and new leaders Burnley. Watford went from 17th to tenth in the table.

Slaven Bilic, the Watford chief, got off to a promising start when they thrashed Stoke City on the road. During the international fortnight, the Croatian, the former manager of West Ham and Everton, replaced the fired Rob Edwards. The Hornets, who were on the verge of the Championship play-offs when Edwards departed early, took the lead through Ismaila Sarr. Ken Sema was bundled home for their second before late strikes from Keinan Davis and Vakoun Bayo brought the game to an end.

The two clubs have reached an agreement on a £25 million plus add-ons contract. Sarr was omitted from the Watford squad for the Championship match against Preston North End on Saturday. Senegal's national team signed Watford from Rennes in 2019 and has scored 25 goals in 95 appearances for the Hornets. Since being drafted in Vicarage Road, the 24-year-old has been a central figure for the Hornets. During the club's promotion to the Premier League in 2021, the winger had made 23 goals. Sarr scored five goals in the top-flight last season, but Watford was unable to help Watford avoid relegation to the Championship.

From the Championship to the play-offs, the team has adapted this summer by investing over £100 million to rebuild their squad. Souness said they would lose "a lot of games" in the Premier League this season, and that it was the job of the manager and the coaching staff to keep their heads up, despite being on Sky Sports ahead of Forest's match against West Ham.

As the Lions secured promotion to the Premier League through the play-offs, the 24-year-old spent his time on loan with Nottingham Forest last season and scored five goals in 14 appearances. Davis came from non-league Biggleswade Town in 2015 and has since made 85 appearances for the club. The bulk of his appearances in the Championship came from his time in Villa, though Davis has appeared over 30 times in the Premier League. Brighton defender Matt Clarke has also piqued interest, while Watford's Ashley Fletcher has joined Wigan on a season-long loan contract.

Watford's offensive flair is evident, but their tenacity to cling on to sluggish leads could be just as crucial in any promotion race this season. Here was an excellent example. They were already weathering increasing Burnley pressure as they went through Tom Cleverley on the stroke of halftime when Hassane Kamara was dismissed with nine minutes remaining. However, Watford's defiantly placing bodies on the line to protect the three points will greatly inspire their current boss Rob Edwards as he seeks to return them to the Premier League.
