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.
TuttoMercatoWeb have provided a short update on the player, and their title indicates Cabral is ‘near’ to sealing a switch to Vicarage Road.
Within the report, it’s explained the newly promoted Premier League side are ‘very close to defining the purchase’ of the Sporting player.
He has two more years left on his contract with the Portuguese champions and TMW provide no details of the fee Watford will pay Sporting to sign Cabral.
No further details, like the duration of the contract Watford will offer the versatile forward or the salary he will earn with the English club, are mentioned in the report.
