Watford 2025 summer transfers: Every confirmed signing and sale for Paulo Pezzolano's side

Watford finished 14th in the Championship last season, so it would be fair to say that there is a lot of room for improvement during the 2025-26 campaign.

The Hornets were incredibly busy during the summer market, with plenty of money being spent, although their incomings have all been undisclosed in terms of the transfer fees.

Watford are in their fourth straight season in the Championship, last competing in the Premier League in 2021-22, and it will be tough for them to earn promotion back to the top flight for next season.

Finishes of 11th, 15th and 14th have been secured in their last three campaigns in the second tier, and it is a big jump up to the playoffs, although a lot of talent was recruited this summer.

While results did not go their way in the first two matches of the season, losing to Charlton Athletic in the league and Norwich City in the cup, Watford have defeated Queens Park Rangers, drawn with Swansea City and drawn with Southampton in their last three outings.

Here, Sports Mole tracks each of Watford's arrivals and exits in the 2025 summer transfer window.
