Report: Juan Iturbe close to Watford deal

Watford are reportedly closing on the loan signing of Roma attacker Juan Iturbe.

The Premier League side have been strongly linked with a move for the 22-year-old over the last couple of weeks.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, both teams have now come to an agreement that will see the Paraguay international move to England on a six-month loan deal, with the option to make the move permanent next summer.

Iturbe has only scored three league goals for Roma since joining the Rome giants from Verona in 2014.

Watford, meanwhile, who host Liverpool on Sunday, have made an impressive start to life back in the Premier League, currently sitting seventh in the table on 25 points.
