M'Baye Niang set for Watford debut at Arsenal

M'Baye Niang set for Watford debut

Watford boss Walter Mazzarri has suggested that new signing M'Baye Niang will make his debut for the club in Tuesday night's Premier League clash with Arsenal at the Emirates.

The Hornets confirmed the loan signing of the 22-year-old late last week, but he was not involved in the club's 1-0 defeat to Millwall in the FA Cup on Sunday afternoon.

Mazzari, however, has confirmed that the the powerful forward is "available" for the Arsenal match and will travel with the squad with a view to making his first appearance.

"He's available, he will probably come with us. He hasn't been training a lot but he's a player we can use," Mazzarri told reporters.

Niang, who will wear the number 21 for his new club, has scored three times and registered two assists in 18 Serie A appearances for Milan this season.

The former France Under-21 international joined Milan from Caen in 2012, but only managed one goal in his first 38 appearances for the Italian giants.
