Watford are already keen on a £13.5million summer deal for M'Baye Niang after his super start to life in the Premier League.

AC Milan loanee Niang claimed a goal and an assist in Saturday's 2-1 win over Burnley having impressed on his debut in the victory at Arsenal four days previous.

Both Watford and Niang see his long-term future in England, while manager Walter Mazzarri says he is treating the 22-year-old forward 'as if he were my son'.
