Watford intend to register Pape Gueye as their player on July 1 despite the Le Havre midfielder insisting he no longer wishes to join.
Gueye agreed a pre-contract with Watford but says he has been 'advised badly' and will be ending 'all contractual links' while his new representatives say his medical demands scrutiny.
The 21-year-old is wanted by Angers but faces a legal battle unless Watford are compensated.
His pre-contract agreement with Watford was spectacularly shot down by his agent Pierre-Henri Bovis at the end of April.
