Watford have continued their discussions with AZ Alkmaar regarding a deal for Steven Berghuis.

Reports suggest that the Hornets are prepared to pay the Dutch club £3.25milion for the 23-year-old winger.

Watford boss Quique Sanchez Flores sees Berghuis as a prime target and is determined to lure the Dutchman to Vicarage Road with the carrot of Premier League football dangling above.

Former FC Twente and VVV-Venlo man Berghuis scored 11 goals in 22 Eredivisie appearances last season as AZ finished third in Holland's top flight.
