32_year_old Nkoulou, made just three appearances for the club, and his departure from Vicarage Road is now confirmed. Andre Gray, Juraj Kucka, and goalkeeper Ben Foster, join Nkoulou on the list of those departing from the club.
“Following the conclusion of the 2021/22 Premier League season, Watford FC can confirm that five first-team players have left the club,” Watford announced via the club’s official website.
“Defender Nicolas Nkoulou – who made three league appearances after signing in October 2021 – and forward Andre Gray – who spent the last campaign on loan at Queens Park Rangers – have also departed upon the expiration of their deals.
“We thank the departing players for their contributions and wish them the best of luck for the next steps in their careers,” the club added.
