Watford are hoping to complete the signing of Le Havre midfielder Papa Gueye.

The 20-year-old is already a France youth international.

However, the Hornets are planning to send him out on loan as soon as the transfer is complete.

Per the Daily Mail and French sources, Gueye would sign this summer and then move to Udinese on loan.

Watford hope that a loan in Italy would give the player experience before he competed for a first team position in the 2020/21 season.
