Watford Among Clubs Targeting Woolfenden
Friday, 22nd Aug 2025 09:48
TWTD understands Watford are among the Championship clubs keen to sign Blues central defender Luke Woolfenden.
Earlier in the week, Coventry City had a bid rebuffed by the Blues, while Stoke City are believed to be another of the sides showing interest.
We understand Watford are a serious contender for the 26-year-old’s signature with his departure before the window closes now looking all but certain.
Long-term admirers Sheffield United, who were interested in January, are not thought to be among those in the running in this window.
Yesterday, manager Kieran McKenna said he would like to keep Woolfenden, who came through the academy and was a regular in the back-to-back promotion-winning team, but that these “situations aren’t always simple”.
Woolfenden signed a new contract which runs to the summer of 2027 with an option for a further year in January, which means the Blues should achieve a significant fee.
From the player’s perspective, his opportunities at Town in the season ahead would appear limited with skipper Dara O’Shea the regular starter in his right-sided centre-half position.
As TWTD revealed last week, the Blues are interested in Club América’s Uruguayan international Sebastian Caceres with a report earlier this morning indicating a bid as now been made.

Bazza8564 why? £90 million player sales, 8 best players gone, teo lakyers bought who will still be here if we don’t go up.
When was the last time a £50 note scored a winner, made a crunching tackle, or won a header at the back?
It makes sense for an owner selling the club, to crystallise depreciating assets in to cash before a sale, especially when they won’t be here to see the in the field consequences.
To see a supporter doing it! .., it’s bizarre.
You don’t 1% understand what’s happening in front of you, do you, nothing wrong with that, but watching Ashton keep you in the dark and many to your ignorance, it’s really poor.
We don’t get to spend much this summer. Even though we could.
Assets losing value daily, relative to cash are poor for a sales valuation, and that’s 100% why we’re at the £100 million in player sales the owners promised us months ago!!
You didn’t understand or believe basic English then, and you still don’t.
It’s not good .., whether it’s £6 million or more with competition .., it makes ZERO difference …, the additional money will sit in cash, that’s the whole point!
We will sign a player.., but over a contract length if Wolf go’s for a pretty penny it will make NO difference.
£2 million PA maybe on a replacement as a short term year one cost, and that’s isn’t changing whether we get £6 million or £600 million!!
Ashton takes you for a fool.., and he’s away not answering all the questions about our position precisely for this reason.
All he has is effectively gas lighting you.
You do seem to welcome it though. Take a step back from your emotional investment in our CEO, which is bizarre tbh.., in the club, yes, in individuals, you’re always going to be let down.
Mark sold the club down the river with generational spend that aged like an old cheese.
The owners are out. |  |
