Watford are attempting to seal a transfer deadline day loan deal for Club Brugge striker Obbi Oulare while the Hornets are also still hoping to complete a move for Rennes midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure.

The summer transfer window closes at 6pm this evening and the Golden Boys are busy shaping a squad they believe it capable of holding their own in the Premier League.

Oulare has left Belgium’s Under-21 side to travel to England to discuss a switch to Vicarage Road.

It is understood the 19-year-old’s move would be a loan deal with the Hornets having the option to buy.

Oulare broke into the Brugge first-team last season and has 37 appearances for the club, scoring eight times.

The Hornets are also hoping to clinch a move for 22-year-old Doucoure before the window closes.

Watford head coach Quique Sanchez Flores has said he wants to bring in another midfielder and the former France Under-21 international fits that bill.

Rennes are believed to want around £7m for Doucoure, who has scored 13 goals in 73 games for Rennes, which could prove a stumbling block.

Striker Victor Ibarbo is also expected at the Hornets' London Colney training ground today to complete his switch from Serie A side Roma. 

Meanwhile, Gabriele Angella is set to join Queens Park Rangers on a season-long loan deal while Matej Vydra’s future at Watford remains uncertain.

The Czech Republic international will be allowed to leave Vicarage Road but only if the Hornets feel he is surplus to requirements.

Reading and a host of Championship clubs have been linked with moves for Vydra, who hasn’t featured for Watford in the Premier League this season.
