Dionisi reluctant to talk about transfers

Watford must focus on their upcoming Championship game against Wrexham and not any potential moves in the transfer market, says head coach Alessio Dionisi.

The Hornets visit North Wales on Saturday (15:00 BST) after beating Southampton 2-1 in their opening game of the season.

They will be without injured full-back Marc Bola, which leaves Dionisi with another selection headache from his relatively small squad.

"I am sorry for Marc because he is an important player, he is a leader, but there is also Jordan (Zemura), who is a good player," Dionisi told BBC Three Counties Radio.

"Probably there will be a chance for another player."

Watford finished 16th in the Championship last season, with Italian Dionisi replacing Ed Still in June, and, while he accepts they need to strengthen the squad, he is leaving that to the club's recruitment team.

"I don't want to talk about the transfer market. I respect the question but for me it's important to speak about my players and my team - for us it's better to speak about Wrexham," said the former Sassuolo boss.

"The market is important but my job is different. Now there is Wrexham, then three days later there is the Carabao Cup (v Peterborough), so for us it's Important to focus on that - and for the club the transfer market."
