English Premier League side, Watford are on the verge of confirming the signing of Nigeria’s Super Eagles midfielder, Oghenekaro Etebo.
The online edition of The Sun UK broke the news on Wednesday that the Hornets are ready to snap up Stoke City midfielder, Etebo on loan, paving the way for Will Hughes to depart the club.
Etebo will join Watford on a season-long loan with an option to buy inserted into the agreement.
Watford will automatically activate the purchase option in his loan contract if they maintain their Premier League status at the end of the 2021-2022 campaign.
The Hornets have finally gotten their man in Etebo, three years after they missed out on his signature to Stoke City.
The former Warri Wolves star has enjoyed loan spells at Las Palmas and Galatasaray since transferring to the Potters.
Etebo is the second Super Eagles player to join Watford in the summer transfer window, after Emmanuel Dennis who was acquired from Club Brugge.
