David Watson, Bolton Wanderers, Kilmarnock
27 May 2026
Bolton Wanderers are reportedly set to sign Kilmarnock midfielder David Watson under freedom of contract this summer. The move would limit Kilmarnock’s compensation despite interest from Aberdeen, other Scottish Premiership clubs and teams in Italy.
Bolton’s play-off promotion to League One strengthens their pitch to Watson as they build for the next level. Kilmarnock face losing a young midfielder for reduced compensation after wider interest failed to produce a better outcome.
