A squad reorganisation has been confirmed by Watford ahead of the team’s first full season under Tom Cleverley.
The release of players from teams is still the main source of transfer news in the Championship as the free agent market heats up in the weeks after the season ends.
Although high-profile transfers are probably still a ways off, players released by teams like QPR are already drawing interest.

AFC Wimbledon, a League Two team, is reportedly interested in the 23-year-old, who was on loan at Sutton United during the previous season, according to London News Online.After finishing 10th in the fourth tier the previous season, Johnnie Jackson’s team may consider the former Everton and Bolton Wanderers youth product to be an upgrade in the middle of the midfield.
CEO Christian Nourry confirmed Duke-McKenna’s exit last week, saying, “I was immediately struck by Stephen’s inquisitive mind and immense desire to improve his game.” He seems to be a player with a bright future elsewhere, based on the possibilities he had during his most recent loan period.
“This is the time, in our opinion, for him to go off on his own and find success somewhere else. I’m hoping for the best for him in the future.”

The veteran member of Manchester United is leaving a big hole in the team as he builds a new team. Livermore, who joined from West Brom in the summer, had made 32 appearances, but under Cleverley, he had only played for six minutes.
On Thursday morning, the Watford Observer verified the information, stating that Jeremy Ngakia had signed a new contract at Vicarage Road.
