Norwich and Watford have been offered the chance to sign AC Milan midfielder Lucas Biglia.

La Liga side Celta Vigo have also been given the opportunity to sign the 33-year-old.

Nigel Pearson's side may need the extra bodies as they prepare to stay in the Premier League and progress in the FA Cup.

The Watford head coach has no regrets about prioritising Premier League survival over FA Cup glory this season ahead of Tuesday's third-round replay at Tranmere.

The Hornets will do battle with the Sky Bet League One side for a second time this month after the original encounter on January 4 finished 3-3.

A much-changed Watford XI - including various fringe players and debutants - let slip a three-goal lead two weeks ago and they will face off at Prenton Park to decide who hosts Manchester United or Wolves in the fourth round.

Pearson reached the FA Cup final as a player with Middlesbrough in 1997 but, after playing at Bournemouth on Sunday and with a trip to Tottenham coming up, he feels he has little choice but to rotate his squad.

'I am paid to make decisions based on what is right for our club,' he said. 'I can't be sentimental. I have always been someone who has enjoyed playing in cup runs, but I am a manager so my role is different.
