Gianfranco Zola plans to sign Watford loanees

Watford manager Gianfranco Zola has said that he wants to sign several of the club's loan signings on permanent deals this summer.

The Hornets had 13 players on loan at Vicarage Road last season, with the majority coming from Granada and Udinese.

Zola has stated that he intends to sign a few of them permanently before the start of next season.

"The ones we believe are good enough will stay here with us," he told BBC Three Counties Radio.

"We're going to make a stronger team. We will work on it because everyone deserves it."

Watford were beaten 1-0 by Crystal Palace in the Championship playoff final on Monday.
