Watford have stepped up their interest in Crystal Palace and Newcastle target Andre Carrillo, according to reports in Portugal.
The 26-year-old winger joined Benfica from Sporting Lisbon last summer on a free transfer and scored three goals for the club last season.
However, the Portuguese giants are now considering offers for the Peru international after a disappointing pre-season campaign.
Newcastle and Crystal Palace are believed to be interested in taking him to England, but Watford are thought to be leading the race for his signature.
The Hornets have been in talks with Benfica and, according to Record, a loan deal with an option to complete a permanent transfer is being considered for Carrillo.
