The New York Red Bulls are finalizing a deal for English striker Ashley Fletcher to join the club on loan from Watford FC of the English Premier League.
On Thursday afternoon, reporter Tom Barclay stated that New York manager Gerhard Struber was “a huge fan” of the 26-year-old target man and that the Red Bulls were confident of wrapping up the deal. A US-based source has confirmed to Once A Metro that such a deal is in the final stages and awaiting league office approval.
Fletcher is a product of the storied Manchester United academy, having grown up in the nearby Yorkshire city of Bradford.
