Can Watford's new signing Mitchel Bergkamp emulate father Dennis?

Watford's January deadline-day capture of Mitchel Bergkamp drew more attention for the legendary surname rather than the fee or clubs involved.

The 22-year-old attacking midfielder signed a six-month contract with an option of a further deal - in the same week that Mauricio Pochettino's son Maurizio also joined the Hornets on a free transfer from Tottenham - and will join up with the club's Under 23s.

Bergkamp spent nine years with Almere City before being released last summer by the side that plays in the second tier of Dutch football.
