Clubs of the "Premier" League with significantly increasing incomes from broadcasts are constantly improving their transfer records, and now "Watford" has joined them. The most expensive "Shire" purchase of all time became the sniper Andre Gray from "Burnley", for which, according to reports, a total of 18.5 million pounds may have been paid. The 26-year-old Englishman signed a five-year contract with his new team. "Burnley" gave Gray the opportunity to extend his stay at "Turf Moor" earlier this summer by offering a deal that was clearly better than his current contract," the club selling the striker said. "However, the former England non-league national clearly stated that he did not intend to renew his contract, which had only 12 months left until completion." "So, "Burnley" decided to accept Watford's offer and continue their plans before the new "Premier" League season." "Burnley" thanks Andre for his efforts throughout his time at "Turf Moor" and wishes him success in the future. In his two seasons with "Burnley", Gray scored 35 goals. He will join another sniper, Richarlison, who was acquired last night.
