Watford eyeing Gent goalkeeper Lovre Kalinic.

The Sun says the Hornets are ready to offer £10 million for Croatian keeper Kalinic as they look for a new No1.

Marco Silva's spies have turned to 6ft 7in Kalinic, who plays for Gent in Belgium after a move to Aston Villa fell down over a work permit issue a couple of seasons ago.

The Hornets are willing to offer the big asking price as that helps the 27-year-old's case for coming into the country when he applies to get in.

Silva has turned to the Croatia international after being quoted too much money for first-choice Rui Patricio by Sporting Lisbon. They want around £13million for the Portuguese international.

Kalinic is seen as a No1 despite popular Brazilian Heurelho Gomes signing a new deal.
