Watford are confident of tying up a £13m move for Roberto Pereyra before the end of the week.
The attacking midfielder wants to quit Juventus after making just 13 league appearances last season.
Southampton, West Ham and other clubs in England have been linked with Pereyra all summer but he now looks set to join Watford.
The Hornets, according to Sky Italia, have agreed a fee of £13m for the 25-year-old and he is now flying to England to finalise a move.
The Argentina international needs to discuss personal terms with Watford but his wage demands are not expected to be a problem.
