Watford are close to concluding a deal for out-of-contract former Manchester United and Arsenal striker Danny Welbeck.
Welbeck, 28, left Arsenal after five years at the club this summer.
Watford have been talking to him and believe Welbeck, who has 42 England caps and was part of Gareth Southgate’s 2018 World Cup squad, can have a major impact providing he can stay fit.
Welbeck was restricted to 14 appearances for the Gunner last season and did not play after suffering a significant ankle injury during a Europa League game against Sporting Lisbon in November.
Welbeck also made 142 appearances in six years at Manchester United, winning the Premier League title in 2013, before joining Arsenal for £16m in 2014.
