Bolton Wanderers are set to sign David Watson. The newly promoted English Championship club is about to sign the Kilmarnock midfielder, who is available on a free transfer. The transfer between Scotland and England will limit the compensation that Kilmarnock will receive. Record Sport first revealed Bolton’s interest in January. The club, then in League One, had a six-figure bid rejected in the winter transfer window. Kilmarnock decided to keep their Scotland under-21 player and successfully retained their Premiership status. Watson also had offers from Aberdeen, other Scottish Premiership clubs, and from clubs in Italy and England. The 21-year-old has decided to join Bolton. The move will result in Watson leaving Kilmarnock after seven years at the club.
