CF Montreal are set to lose yet another key player with midfielder Ismael Kone now set to join English Championship side, Watford FC on a long-term deal.This comes a day after right-back Alistair Johnson moved to Celtic on the advice of former Harambee Stars captain Victor Wanyama who put in a good word for his former club who were among a host of clubs after the 24-year old’s signature.##NAJAVA_MECA_6862161##“I just remember a couple of months back, he actually brought up to me that he thought Celtic was the perfect fit for me. It’s funny because I thought, yes, I completely agree.A little bit later I got word that there was some interest there, and I talked to Victor a lot about it. He’s played at some massive clubs like Spurs, Southampton and Celtic, and he said that everyone else paled in comparison to Celtic,” Alistair said after signing a gibe-year deal with Celtic.Kone, who was born in Ivory Coast had been linked with a move to Sheffield United in August but the move failed to materialize and after the world cup with Canada, the midfielder is set to move to England.“Canadian gem Ismael Kone is set to join Watford, here we go — it will be record transfer fee for Montreal. Pozzo’s project includes Watford and Udinese for near future — it’s the most attractive one for Kone despite offers from Italian, German, Dutch clubs,” Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano tweeted on Sunday evening.Montreal, who reached the MLS playoffs semifinals last season have now lost three key players and the future of others remain up in the air. Alistair has moved to Celtic, Kone to Watford and Djordje Mihailovic has moved to Az Alkmaar of Netherlands. Wanyama is also expected to move away after he announced that he may not continue with the club after the expiry of his contract in December.Clinical Tusker whip AFC Leopards to maintain perfect league start
