Watford in talks with Chelsea over £5m move for forward Ike Ugbo with Hornets also closing in on 18-year-old Rochdale winger Kwadwo Baah

Watford have opened talks with Chelsea over a £5million deal for striker Ike Ugbo and hope to add talented winger Kwadwo Baah from Rochdale.

Baah, 18, is out of contract in the summer and was due to join Manchester City in January only for a medical issue to halt negotiations.

Watford have subsequently stepped in to offer a £125,000 compensation fee for Baah and he underwent a medical with the newly promoted Premier League side on Wednesday.
