Giorgi Chakvetadze: Watford sign Gent's Georgia midfielder on loan

Watford have made their sixth summer signing by bringing in midfielder Giorgi Chakvetadze from Belgian side KAA Gent on a season-long loan.

Chakvetadze's professional career began with home-town club Dinamo Tbilisi before he joined Gent in August 2017.

He has hit five goals in 50 league appearances for Gent and has had two spells on loan whilst with the club.

Chakvetadze spent the second half of the 2021-22 season with Hamburg in the German second tier, then spent the 2022-23 season with Slovan Bratislava.

He follows the signings of strikers Rhys Healey and Tom Ince, midfielders Matheus Martins and Jake Livermore, defender Jamal Lewis since the appointment of Val Ismael as the Horns' new head coach in May.
