Ben Foster Edges Closer to West Brom Exit as Watford Agree £4m Deal Following Training Camp Boycott

West Bromwich Albion goalkeeper Ben Foster has moved a step closer to leaving the Baggies, after Watford had a £4m bid accepted for the stopper, following his refusal to attend the club's pre-season training camp in Portugal.

According to the Daily Mail, the former England goalkeeper was fined when he opted to train alone rather than join his teammates on their summer retreat, while Watford continued to negotiate for the 35-year, with bids of £1m and £2.5m being rejected.

However, the deal now appears to be close to finalisation, with the £4m offer being deemed acceptable by the Baggies.
