Watford are reportedly closing in on a deal for Udinese midfielder Martin Payero, according to the BBC.
The Hornets, who missed out on the play-offs last season, are said to be in advanced talks to bring the Argentine to Vicarage Road as they look to strengthen their midfield options ahead of the new Championship campaign.
Details of the reported fee and personal terms have not yet emerged, and neither club has confirmed the move publicly. As it stands, the transfer remains at the rumour stage, with the BBC report suggesting an agreement could be edging closer rather than being finalised.
Payero, who has spent time in Serie A with Udinese, would represent a notable addition to Watford's engine room if the deal goes through, though fans will want to see official confirmation before getting too excited.
GoalPoles will provide further updates on Payero's potential switch to Hertfordshire as more information becomes available.
