Sporting winger Jovane Cabral is ‘coming to Watford’ from Portugal, according to reports.

Operating on both wings, as a centre forward and in an attacking midfield position, the 22-year-old finished the 2020/21 campaign with eight goals and five assists across all competitions.

The Cape Verde attacker’s performances have convinced the Hornets to make an approach for him this summer.

Within the report, it’s explained the newly promoted Premier League side are ‘very close to defining the purchase’ of the Sporting player.
