Want to know more about watfordfc loan signing Henrique Araujo? We asked a Portuguese football expert
Bilic was clearly buzzing when he talked about Araujo yesterday and, to coin a phrase the head coach often uses himself, you have to tip your cap in the direction of the club’s recruitment team as they have clearly convinced the player, his manager Roger Schmidt and Benfica that the striker will benefit from spending the next few months at Watford.
Aaron Bennett: It is and it isn’t! What I mean by this is the decision to loan Araújo is a surprise if you’re like me and believe that he is good enough to make an impact at Benfica whether that be coming off the bench or playing in cup games. AB: I think he will embrace the challenge. He strikes me as a player with a good attitude who when faced with new challenges is able to adapt well.
More and more top clubs are now buying directly from Portugal now so it’s no surprise that a young striker performing well for both club and country has been linked with moves away.AB: It’s hard and probably unfair to say really given that the leading players Araújo is aspiring to be like have all tested themselves at the top level, so he is not quite there yet.
AB: It depends on how this loan move goes and that’s the risk with a loan I suppose. If he gets straight into the Watford team and is banging in the goals, it will do wonders for his confidence, especially if he is part of something special like promotion to the Premier League.
