Tommy Watson to Leicester City, here we go! 💙🐯: Leicester City’s new signing has just undergone the first stage of his medical at the club ahead of his move from Brighton.

Leicester City have moved a step closer to completing the loan signing of Tommy Watson from Brighton after the young winger successfully underwent the first stage of his medical on Friday.

The Foxes have been working to strengthen their squad ahead of the new campaign, and Watson has emerged as one of the club’s priority targets.

The deal is expected to be finalised once the remaining medical checks and paperwork have been completed.

The highly-rated youngster is regarded as one of Brighton’s brightest attacking prospects. Although first-team opportunities have been limited, he has impressed with his pace, direct running and willingness to take on defenders whenever called upon.

Leicester believe a season of regular football at the King Power Stadium could play an important role in his development.

The proposed loan move would give Watson the opportunity to gain valuable senior experience while providing Leicester with another attacking option as they prepare for the challenges of the Championship season.

Barring any late complications, there is growing confidence that the transfer will be completed in the coming days.

Once the final stage of his medical is finished and the relevant documents are signed, an official announcement is expected from the club.
