No bids expected for Watford's Maamma

Watford assistant sporting director Valon Behrami does not expect any bids in January for 'wonderkid' forward Othmane Maamma.

He has made a big impact at Vicarage Road, scoring twice in nine appearances, since helping Morocco win the Fifa Under-20 World Cup in October.

"We are not used to selling in the January transfer market unless they come with something crazy, a different kind of valuation," Behrami told BBC Three Counties Radio.

"A player like Maamma - now comes the difficult part because the expectations are higher game by game. That's something we need to pay attention to, especially on a young talent like this.
