Watford will hold talks with Everton during the international break over a permanent deal for Tom Cleverley.
The midfielder is due to trigger an £8million transfer to Watford should he play against Sunderland on April 1 after featuring in nine games.
However, the Vicarage Road club want to confirm his signature regardless of whether he hits the trigger figure to give the squad a lift after a recent dip in results.
The 27-year-old joined on loan from Everton in January and has been a regular under Walter Mazzarri while proving a popular figure with his team-mates.
