Watford to sign Jorge Segura in the summer

Jorge Segura will join Walter Mazzarri's Watford in the summer

Watford have agreed a deal to sign Jorge Segura from Colombian club Envigado this summer.

The 20-year-old central defender will officially complete the move when the transfer window re-opens in July.

Segura has made 23 appearances in Colombia's top tier and has played for Colombia's Under-20 side on four occasions.

However, his lack of experience at international level may add complications with regard to getting a work permit, raising the possibility of him initially playing for a different club owned by the Pozzo family, who own Watford.
