A report from SportsBoom earlier this month stated that Motherwell central midfielder Elliot Watt is a target for Hearts, Celtic, and Rangers, and that all three clubs are looking to strengthen their squads for the title race. Analyst Kai Watson described the 25-year-old Scottish and English midfielder last month as being the best midfielder in the league. In 20 Premiership appearances this season, Watt has scored four goals and provided two assists.
Statistics from Sofascore show that among the league's central midfielders, he is first for total passes with 1,709, first for touches per game at 102.9, and second for passes in the opposition's half. Watt joined Motherwell on July 1, 2025, and his contract runs until May 31, 2027. The midfielder has three caps for Scotland U21, and according to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €500k.
