Watford have a deal in place for Stevenage Borough defender Ben Wilmot.

The Sun says Watford have beaten Arsenal and Spurs in the race to sign highly-rated England kid Wilmot.

The Hornets have agreed a deal worth over £1.5million for the top prospect, who has been a regular in League Two.

Wilmot was taken out of the Stevenage side at the weekend as the clubs finalised the terms.

And he should be clear to sign this week before joining officially in the window.

Stevenage are happy to have the cash and will also try to bring Wilmot back on loan further down the line.
