Watford are ready to make a move for Barcelona forward Gerard Deulofeu as Javi Gracia looks to add Premier League experience to his squad before the end of the January window.
According to Mundo Deportivo, Ernesto Valverde is happy to let the 23-year-old quit the Nou Camp just six months after the club activated a buy-back clause to sign him from Everton.
Having impressed during two seasons at Goodison Park, Watford's new manager Gracia is targeting a deal before Wednesday's deadline as he looks to strengthen his options in attack.
Deulofeu burst onto the scene at Everton under Roberto Martinez but fell down the pecking order following the £30million arrival of Yannick Bolasie.
