REUTERS: Watford have signed Mitchel Bergkamp, son of Arsenal great Dennis, on an initial six-month contract, the Championship club announced on Monday.
The 22-year-old attacking midfielder, who has been a free agent since leaving second-tier Dutch outfit Almere City last summer, followed the footsteps of his father by moving to England earlier this year.Mitchel's father Dennis won seven major trophies during his 11-year spell with Arsenal, including the"Invincibles" Premier League campaign of 2003-04."It's just my name and I'm my own player and hopefully I can leave my own legacy.
"He's been amazing to me and for me. He's my No. 1 fan and has always been there for me. It's a privilege to have him as my dad and to work with him on my game."Watford said they have an option to extend Mitchel's contract if he enjoys a successful spell with the club's Under-23 squad.
