The Burnley striker would be a useful addition to the Watford squad this summer.

Popular bookmakers SkyBET have listed the Hornets as surprise new favourites in the race to sign Clarets hitman Andre Gray.

The 26-year-old has been heavily linked with an exit from Turf Moor this summer, with West Ham thought to be leading the race for his signature, according to the Mirror.

Gray has demonstrated on a consistent basis that he is an accomplished goalscorer throughout his career, netting 102 times in 221 league outings.

And with Watford thought to be in the market for a proven goalscorer, the Burnley forward could be just the man for the job.

SkyBET make the Hertfordshire outfit the new 6/4 favourites to sign Gray, ahead of Wolverhampton Wanderers at 4/1 and the Hammers at 6/1.

The pacey striker could be available for around £20 million this summer, according to the Mirror, and in a transfer market that seems to have inflated beyond control, that would actually represent fantastic value for the Hornets, should Marco Silva go on to bring the Clarets star to Vicarage Road this summer.

And he could make all the difference for Watford this season, as they look to improve upon last term’s 17th placed finish.
