Watford are keen on taking Aaron Lennon on loan from Everton.

New Hornets' boss Marco Silva believes the 30-year-old can add much needed pace and experience to his side as he looks to reshape the squad ahead of his first season in charge at Vicarage Road.

Everton are open to offers to sign Lennon on a permanent basis but it is understood Watford want to strike a loan deal with the Blues.

Lennon's return to action this summer has been an uplifting tale in Everton's pre-season preparations.

The former England winger missed the final part of last term after he suffered a stress related illness and had not been expected back to training so soon.

Lennon has played a part in the Blues' warm-up games, scoring against FC Twente last month, but was not named in the squad for last week's Europa League qualifier against Ruzomberok.

Everton are willing to listen to offers for the ex-Spurs man and are in talks with Watford over a player who has made 58 appearances after first joining on loan in 2015.
