Newly promoted English Premier League side Watford are on the verge of confirming the signing of Nigeria international Oghenekaro Etebo.
Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that Etebo arrived at Vicarage Road on Thursday morning ahead of his unveiling.
The Hornets are ready to snap up Stoke City midfielder Etebo on loan, paving the way for Will Hughes to depart the club.
It was reported earlier today that the Stoke City midfielder will join Watford on a season-long loan with an option to buy inserted into the agreement.
There is no going back on Etebo’s transfer to Watford as he has already signed the loan deal and only an official announcement is left.
Watford will automatically activate the purchase option in his loan contract if they maintain their Premier League status at the end of the 2021-2022 campaign.
The Hornets have finally gotten their man in Etebo, three years after they missed out on his signature to Stoke City.
The former Warri Wolves star has enjoyed loan spells at Las Palmas and Galatasaray since transferring to the Potters.
Etebo is the second Super Eagles player to join Watford in the summer transfer window, after Emmanuel Dennis who was acquired from Club Brugge.
Nigerian duo of Troost Ekong and Isaac Success are on the list of Watford F.C and Etebo’s pen to paper this week will make him the fourth player on the radar.
