Watford have opened talks with released Porto defender Diego Reyes.

The Mirror says Watford are keen on signing free agent Reyes.

The defender, who has just quit Porto, is in talks over boosting Javi Garcia's defensive options.

The free agent has attracted a wealth of interest after being released by Porto earlier this summer. The player will make a decision over his future this week.

Reyes only featured for Porto 49 times over a five-year period but did enjoy more playing time while on loan at Real Sociedad and Espanyol more recently.

The free agent signed for Porto €7m (£6.25m) back in 2013 from Mexican outfit America.
