Who is Watford’s new signing Ken Sema? The next big talent?

Watford have completed the signing of Swedish and Ostersunds’ winger Ken Sema on a five-year deal. The 24-year-old is a Swedish International who couldn’t make the cut for this year’s World Cup.

Just to make the Premier League fans aware, he scored the winner when Ostersunds defeated Arsenal in the Europa League. Sema scored a goal and provided 10 assists in 29 appearances in all competitions last season. He is a quality player who will certainly help Watford strengthen the wide areas.

Let us take an in-depth look at the player and try to reiterate as to why the Hornets have made a clever move:

Scouting Ken Sema

Sema can be deployed at various positions in the midfield, although his preferred position is on the left-hand side. He has the pace and power to trouble opposition fullbacks with ease. One can remember him making light work of Arsenal right-back Hector Bellerin during that famous win.

Ken Sema

The 24-year-old can dribble past people with ease and use his bulky body to protect the ball without much trouble. He demonstrated a take-on success rate of 61% last season in the Europa League. Moreover, Sema possesses the fabulous ability to track back and help his defence out. He won 50% of the tackles attempted and had an interception rate of 1.4 per game in the Europa League.

Overall, he is a complete wide player with able qualities to impact the game on both sides of the field. Manager Javi Gracia is quite flexible with formations and Sema has the ability to fit into any system deployed by his boss.

Verdict

To conclude, Sema has bags of talent to exhibit and the Premier League might be perfect for him. He is only 24 years old, so he has time to improve further and enhance his reputation in the coming few seasons. Safe to say that Watford have bagged a coup by signing the talented Ken Sema this summer.
