Watford are moving for Bologna fullback Adam Masina.

Sportitalia says Javi Gracia's side are in advanced talks with the Serie A club about bringing the defender to Vicarage Road.

The 24-year-old has just one year left on his contract Stadio Renato Dall'Ara, and is on the market for £8.75million.

Sevilla and Lazio are both understood to be keen on securing his services, but it is Watford that are winning the race to nab him.

Tottenham were linked with Masina in November, as Mauricio Pochettino eyed up the Moroccan-born Italian youth international as a replacement for Danny Rose.
