WATFORD SIGN FOSTER FROM WEST BROM

Watford have signed goalkeeper Ben Foster from Championship side West Bromwich Albion on a two-year deal with an option over an additional 12 months, the Premier League club has said. The former England shot-stopper is no stranger to Vicarage Road, having made 81 appearances in two seasons while on loan from Manchester United, and was instrumental in the Watford's promotion to the Premier League in 2006. "Not many clubs I'd have looked forward to signing for, but Watford FC have always had a special place in my life, can't wait to get going again," Foster wrote on Twitter. The 35-year-old spent seven years at the Hawthorns, making 223 appearances in all competitions, and was one of West Brom's better players in a dismal 2017/18 campaign which saw them finish bottom of the league table on 31 points. Foster becomes Watford's sixth signing of the close-season, after midfielder Ken Sema joined from Swedish side Ostersunds on Thursday.

GW7 ONES TO WATCH;SEAN MORRISON

Sean Morrison (£4.9m) Cardiff City may not have started the season as strongly as they would have liked but they do possess a centre-half who is making an impact in both defence and attack. Morrison helped his side to clean sheets against Newcastle United and Huddersfield Town over Gameweeks 2 to 3. He followed that up with back-to-back assists against Arsenal and Chelsea. Major threat The 27-year-old boasted a fine record in last season's Championship. He scored seven goals and recorded a total of 50 shots on goal. Although he has yet to score this term, Morrison has carried a major threat for the Bluebirds. Chance creator No Cardiff player has bettered his totals of seven chances created and two big chances. A big chance is a situation where the player receiving the pass is expected to score. Morrison's aerial threat can be decisive against visitors Burnley this Sunday. He has won 37 headed duels this season, more than any other defender. Claret concess...
