Valencia on fire: agreement reached for Armoni Brooks and a done deal for Trendon Watford

Valencia is extremely active in the transfer market and has completed the signings of Armoni Brooks and Trendon Watford.

Armoni Brooks has accepted Valencia’s offer as anticipated by Chema De Lucas, which was on the table along with Real Madrid’s, with a one-year loan from Asvel, who is currently struggling financially.

Trendon Watford is coming to Europe, and he too will be a Valencia player. The former Sixers player thus arrives in Europe for the first time in his career and represents a major breakthrough for the Spanish team.
