Watford are eyeing AA Gent midfielder Birger Verstraete.

HLN says the Hornets are interested in Verstraete, who is about to enter the final year of his Gent deal.

The 25 year-old is expected to be sold this summer and a move to England is an attractive option.

However, Verstraete also has fielded interest from the Bundesliga and Ligue 1.

He won his first cap with Belgium against Scotland earlier this season.
