Watford are being linked to yet another Brazilian midfielder as they target Josef De Souza of Fenerbahce according to reports in Turkey.

Takvim claim that the Hornets have had a bid of €12m turned down by the Super Lig club who are looking for around €16m for the 29-year-old.

Souza is usually utilised in defensive role and moved to the Yellow Canaries in July 2015 from Sao Paulo and has missed just one league game for the club in 2017/18 and completed 90 minutes in 24 of their 25 matches.

The summer window could potentially be the Turkish club's last chance to cash in on the player given the former Gremio and Porto star's contract expires at the end of next season.

Takvim suggest that negotiations are ongoing between Watford and Fenerbahce.

The report comes in the wake of the Hornets being linked to Brazilian playmaker Igor Coronado of Palermo and sounds like work to improve the squad for next season is already taking place.
