Report: Five Championship teams show interest in Jerome Sinclair

Watford striker Jerome Sinclair is likely to depart the club on loan in January, with as many as five Championship clubs said to be interested in his services.

A string of Championship clubs are reportedly lining up to take Watford striker Jerome Sinclair on loan in January.

The 20-year-old is said to be a target for Brighton & Hove Albion, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Bristol City, Norwich City and Brentford, but is still hopeful of earning a spot in the Hornets' first team over the coming weeks.

Signed from Liverpool in a £2m transfer during the summer, Sinclair has yet to be given his senior bow at Vicarage Road after missing out on a deadline-day move away from the club on a temporary deal.

According to the Watford Observer, however, the Birmingham-born ace will be given the chance to seek a new club on loan when the transfer window reopens in a little over a month's time, with a number of teams ready to take him on board.

Sinclair, who spent time with Wigan Athletic in the third tier last term, has made the bench for six of Watford's 12 Premier League games this season but has been unable to truly break into boss Walter Mazzarri's plans.
