Watford are on the brink of signing Le Havre midfielder Pape Gueye.

Watford and Le Havre are now in advanced talks over Gueye's sale - though it's undecided whether he will be moving to England immediately.

L'Equipe says Watford could sign Gueye and send him on-loan to Serie A sister club Udinese next season. The Hornets and Udinese are both owned by the Pozzo family.

Olympique Marseille have made an attempt for Gueye, but were informed he was on his way to Watford.

Gueye has a deal with Le Havre to 2021.
