Watford have opened talks with Galatasaray for Ozan Kabak.

The young defender has been linked with a move to England for several weeks, though he also has been the subject of enquiries from Inter Milan and Roma.

However, Italian sources say Inter agents have learned Watford are now in talks with Gala for the defender.

And the Hornets are willing to meet his €7.5m buyout clause to bring him to England.

Watford management are in the market for a young centre-half signing as they seek to drive down the average age of their defensive options.
