Watford have agreed a deal to take Aston Villa's Kortney Hause on loan for the season despite a deal between the two club's for Ismaila Sarr falling through.
Sarr was set for a bump up to the Premier League from the Championship side as Villa boss Steven Gerrard sought to bring the forward to the midlands this summer.
However their £27million move for the attacker was called off after the involved parties failed to agree personal terms and an acceptable payment structure for the transfer.
The Senegalese winger has been on the radar of a host of top club's this summer but now looks set to remain in the championship for another season with the transfer window slamming shut on September 1.
