Samuel Kalu - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Unavailable due to illness Kalu will miss the season finale against Chelsea on Sunday due to illness.

Impact After starting two straight contests, Kalu finds himself the latest member of the Watford squad to miss out with an illness. The forward made just four appearances for Watford this season in which he recorded four shots (one on target), eight crosses (two accurate) and two corners. If he can feature more prominently in the starting XI next season, Kalu could offer decent mid-range fantasy value.

Gets debut Watford start Kalu is in the starting XI for Wednesday's match against Everton.

Impact Out of necessity, Kalu is in the starting XI Wednesday after appearing in just two prior matches with Watford. He went 45 minutes in his last appearance at Wolves in which he completed just two passes. In 11 appearances with Bordeaux this season, he managed 3.59 shots and 5.25 crosses per 90 minutes, so having a good day is at least possible.

Picks up ankle issue Kalu sustained an ankle injury and will miss out versus Brentford on Saturday.

Impact Kalu has come off the bench in his two appearances for Watford since joining the club during the January transfer window. Even if Kalu is able to return, he will be hard-pressed to break into the starting XI with any consistency, making him a low-end fantasy option.

Signs with Watford Kalu has signed a three-year deal with Watford from French side Bordeaux.

Impact It's yet another Ligue 1 player for Watford, who have already added a couple this window. Kalu brings some electricity, but he's had a troubled season in which he's only started three league matches for Bordeaux. He'll bring something on the wing to Watford, but he probably won't be what keeps them above relegation.
