​Watford defender Hobelas nears Galatasaray switch

Watford central defender Jose Holebas is set for a move to Turkey, with his switch to Galatasaray close to completion.

Holebas has only managed one appearance for Watford since the start of the year, and he is at an age where he just wants regular first team football. The 33-year-old will cost Galatasaray in the region of £550,000.

Holebas has been with Watford since 2015, when he joined for less than two million pounds from Roma.

In his time at the club, he has made 59 appearances in the Premier League, including 15 this season. Yet it appears the club is moving to a younger central defensive partnership, leaving him open for the move.
