Watford is close to a £10.4 million ($13.4 million) purchase of Roberto Pereyra of Juventus. The deal could increase to £13 million.

The 25-year-old attacking midfielder, who can also play wide on the left, represented Udinese for three seasons from 2011 before joining Juve, first on loan and then on a permanent basis. 

Pereyra has 10 caps for Argentina and reached the 2015 Copa América final with the national team.
