Young striker Tiago Cukur is expected to complete a move to Fenerbahce in the next 24 hours.
The 19-year-old recently earned his first full international cap for Turkey, and this move to his homeland it set to earn Watford up to £1.5million.
The striker joined Watford from Dutch side AZ Alkmaar in January 2021, and went out on loan to Doncaster Rovers last summer – he scored once in 21 appearances (10 as a starter) before returning to Vicarage Road in January this year.
Cukur was twice an unused substitute at the end of last season, sitting on the bench for the home games with Everton and Leicester City.
He earned his sole full international cap in Turkey’s 2-0 UEFA Nations League victory over Lithuania last month.
