Watford are still looking at transfer targets despite signing two loan players from Premier League clubs this week.

The Hornets secured the services of experienced Manchester United goalkeeper Tomasz Kuszczak on loan until the end of the season and yesterday signed young Fulham striker Marcello Trotta on an initial one-month youth loan.

But Sean Dyche confirmed: “We are still looking and there are a couple of things that are maybes. But there is nothing imminent or anything in the next 48 hours.”

Dyche had indicated there would be further arrivals when he spoke to the Watford Observer on Tuesday – before the arrival of Trotta.

He said: “We still want to work hard during the rest of the season, we still want to build forward this season and it is no different now.

“We found during this season that the demand for places, and bringing in the best quality we can, is important.

“This [Kuszczak’s signing] is an example of it and we are still looking. We are still looking to target players.

“There is a certain model we have to build within but there seemed to be this feeling [among supporters] that we were waiting – it is not about that. It is about the availability.

“There are a number of players we have been targeting for a long time and it is nothing to do with finance or the club releasing him or wanting him. It is the timing the club will release him.”

Trotta has been on Watford’s radar for some time after the 19-year-old striker impressed against the Hornets in pre-season and then scored against the Reserves in November – a 4-1 defeat which included a goal from fellow Fulham loanee Alex Kacaniklic.

The Italian joined League One strugglers Wycombe Wanderers a week later and scored eight goals in as many games, despite the Chairboys being in a relegation battle.

Dyche said: “It was an availability issue with him because he did well out on loan at Wycombe Wanderers and Fulham wanted him back in their squad, especially with Bobby Zamora leaving, so we had to wait for when he was available.”

He continued: “Football has a way of sorting itself out and we scored eight goals in the next four games [after Marvin Sordell left] but we were always monitoring the [striker] situation.

“He is a good size, he is a good hold-up player and the most obvious thing is his goalscoring record.

“He has scored goals in a side that have had challenges and also for the Reserves.

“Young players are never a guaranteed success but I have done my background work and I have good relationships at Fulham and we believe he is right for what we want at this time. He has that real desire to challenge himself.”
