Watford are moving for young Swedish prospect Kevin Harletun.

The Hornets have been alerted to the availability of the 19-year-old striker who is about to come to the end of his contract with Malmo, says The Sun.

The Sweden Under-19 international has decided against committing himself to a new deal with Malmo in favour of trying his luck abroad.

That means he will be available essentially on a free transfer from November - with a compensation fee of around £140,000 all he would cost.

Until now, Championship club Hull had seemed the most likely destination for Harletun.

He was given permission to spend three weeks training with the Tigers where he impressed manager Grant McCann.
