The Premier League has become synonymous with making big-money signings in recent years.

The ever-increasing revenue brought into the highest profile league in world brings a pressure for each club to spend mega money on signing high profile players from around the world.

However that could be about to change at Vicarage Road.

According to Football.London sources, Watford are monitoring the situation of one of the best kept secrets in non-league football with the view to a summer move.

Billy Whitehouse, who plays part-time for Tadcaster Albion in the Evo Stik Northern Premier League, is attracting the interest of several clubs around the country, including the Hornets.

The 21-year-old is a winger by trade and is tipped for a bright future in the game after making a promising start to his career.

Whitehouse started his career at Doncaster Rovers where he came through the youth system before signing his first professional contract in 2014.

He played 17 games for the Yorkshire side in total, as well as enjoying a brief loan spell with Halifax Town.

The winger then signed a one-year deal with Leeds United where he made one appearance in the 1-0 FA Cup defeat to Sutton United before being released.

Whitehouse signed for Tadcaster Albion just five months ago and has impressed in his 18 appearances for the club, scoring two goals for the struggling side.

According to sources, the winger is also attracting interest from Stevenage, but if Watford were to deem a move worthwhile it could certainly provide a cost-effective solution for the club in a player who's quality far exceeds the level which he's currently playing.
