Watford on verge of securing Marseille defender Brice Dja Djedje

Watford are set to sign Brice Dja Djedje from French club Marseille.

Sky Sports reports that the Hornets have agreed a fee of around £2million with Marseille for the Ivory Coast right-back.

Djedje, 25, will undergo a medical with Watford this week and will only need to agree personal terms before a deal is concluded in the coming days.

The former Evian defender will become Walter Mazzarri's fifth summer signing at Vicarage Road, following Isaac Success, Christian Kabasele, Jerome Sinclair and Juan Camilo Zuniga.
