Real Valladolid are chasing Watford striker Stefano Okaka.

The Watford Observer says Valladolid are said to have enquired about the availability of Okaka, who was absent from Watford's squad for Saturday's opener with Brighton due to injury but was in attendance at the game.

The 29-year-old was the subject of a number of approaches throughout the summer but Javi Gracia has always maintained he remains a part of the club's plans going forward.

Okaka's time at Watford has been disrupted by moments of unrest with the player himself agitating for a move away from Vicarage Road in the January transfer window after being frozen out by Marco Silva.
