Watford are set to hire Andy Scott as their new technical director.
Scott had served as head of recruitment at Brentford until leaving in July 2016.
Since the Englishman took over as head of recruitment, Brentford have managed to unearth success stories such as Ollie Watkins, Neal Maupay, Florian Jozefzoon for the first team and Jan Novak, Joe Hardy and Theo Archibald for the B team.
This was probably what impressed the Watford hierarchy and they will be hoping that he can help them to unearth some young talents.
