However, talk of movement for the England youth international only quietened briefly, as reports of a potential loan move emerged. Leeds United were among those linked but Watford have managed to secure his services on a temporary basis.

Jebbison told Watford’s website: "I am very excited, and I just can’t wait to really show how I can help the team.

"I am a sponge right now, I want to soak up everything and learn as much as possible, and be a better player on and off the pitch. I want to score some goals and contribute to the team.

"There is a good structure here with good people, and good things that you don’t see behind the scenes. The gaffer is very ambitious in his goals, he is very clear in his mind what he wants, and we share the same values.

"I spoke to him early this morning, he has been here since I don’t know what time in the morning, that shows he has time for his job and he loves it - he is a good man."

Jebbison has committed to the Hornets for the entirety of the 2024/25 season, His new club currently sit second in the Championship, having won all three of their opening league fixtures.
