Watford are reportedly "close to finalising" a loan deal for Juventus midfielder Stefano Sturaro.
According to The Sun's Warren Haughton and Duncan Wright, Hornets manager Javi Gracia wants to recruit the Italian and Watford are set to sign Sturaro on a season-long loan with the option to buy him outright in a year's time.
Juve value Sturaro at £18 million—a price that is said to have proved prohibitive with fellow admirers Leicester City and West Ham United—but the Bianconeri are said to be happy with the offer put on the table by Watford.
