The Hornets have targeted the AZ Alkmaar winger as their eighth summer signing.

Berghuis, 23, appeared to be on his way to PSV Eindhoven before Quique Flores made his move.

Berghuis, who is due to open talks, said: "Playing in the Premier League would be fantastic as it's the dream of every footballer."

But Watford have been frustrated in their attempts to sign Tottenham's Benjamin Stambouli.

Stambouli had agreed terms but backed out of the switch following Paris Saint-Germain's 11th hour bid.
