Watford are believed to be on the verge of signing Anderlecht striker Stefano Okaka.

The Hornets sold Matej Vydra to Derby County on Saturday and have lined up Okaka to bolster their attacking options with the transfer window shutting on Wednesday.

The Italian international netted 17 goals last season for Anderlecht but he has not been a prolific scorer throughout his career.

Okaka started off at Roma before a series of loan spells including a move to Fulham in 2010 where he netted two goals. 

After moving to Parma, Okaka joined Sampdoria and was then sold to Anderlecht for £2.5m last summer.

But the powerful striker is poised for his second spell in English football and is likely to become the Hornets' ninth signing of the summer.
