Watford are closing in on the signing of teen star Pontus Dahlberg with IFK Goteborg already hunting for his replacement.

The Hornets are in talks over a deal for the goalkeeper, who is impressing in Sweden despite being just 18.

Watford are reportedly ready to shell out around £3m for Dahlberg and he will instantly fight to become No.1 at Vicarage Road.

In recent weeks reports surrounding the goalkeeper's future have gone quiet but, according to Swedish newspaper Barometern, IFK Goteborg are now looking for his replacement.

The club need the cash from Dahlberg's sale to boost their finances and they are ready to let him go.
