Watford’s Imran Louza linked with Ligue 1 return | OneFootball

Just over two years after leaving FC Nantes to join Watford in a €10m deal, Imran Louza (24) could be set to make a return to Ligue 1, according to Foot Mercato.

Despite scoring on the opening day of the Championship season, game time has been at a premium for Moroccan international midfielder Louza in recent weeks. He has started just one of the club’s last 15 games, featuring only three times in that period, and missing out on the matchday squad entirely on four occasions.

According to a report from Foot Mercato, FC Metz are in negotiations over a loan move for Louza. Les Grenats, who will miss Lamine Camara to the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), are in need of midfield reinforcements this January. The Moroccan midfielder, who has not been selected to take part in the upcoming AFCON, will arrive to help Metz retain their Ligue 1 status.
