Watford have made a bid for Southampton midfielder James Ward-Prowse.

The Sun says Watford have made a £10million offer for Ward-Prowse.

Javi Gracia has made a late move to bolster his squad with the England international on the eve of the Premier League season starting.

The Hornets boss will now wait to see if Mark Hughes is willing to do business for the 23-year-old who has spent his whole career at St Mary's.

Ward-Prowse started more than half of Saints' games in the Premier League last season.

But Sparky will weigh up whether he requires the central midfielder next season or use cash raised elsewhere.

Mario Lemina and Oriol Romeu are competing with Ward-Prowse for a place in Southampton's midfield.
