Watford close to sealing €10m deal for Gerard Deulofeu

Gerard Deulofeu to make his stay at Watford permanent?

After failing to nail down a starting spot in Barcelona's XI, Gerard Deulofeu was loaned out to Watford in the second half of the season and The Hornets are now looking to make that deal permanent, according to Spanish media outlet AS.

The 24-year-old who has experience in the Premier League with Everton where he had an impressive record is deemed surplus at the Camp Nou club.

Competing for spots with Luis Suarez, Lionel Messi, and Ousmane Dembele was always going to be tough and Watford believe they can make this deal work with Barcelona looking to sell the winger.
