Everton’s 27-year-old midfielder could be heading to Watford, according to SkyBet.

SkyBet have installed Watford as the new favourites in the race to sign Everton midfielder Tom Cleverley, slashing their odds down to 1/10 to bring him to Vicarage Road.

The 27-year-old’s days at Goodison Park appear to be numbered, what with the impending arrival of Morgan Schneiderlin.

And SkyBet have made the Hornets huge favourites in the race for the former Manchester United star’s signature, ahead of Aston Villa and Newcastle United, who are both listed as outsiders at 14/1.

The 13-capped England international has actually already spent time with Watford earlier on in his career, during a loan spell in the 2009/10 season, where he made 33 league appearances for the Hornets, and scored an impressive 11 goals.

So a move to Vicarage Road would seem to make sense for the midfielder, what with him being already familiar with the Hertfordshire club.

Cleverley has found his playing time to be limited under Ronald Koeman at Everton this term, making just four Premier League starts, and a move away from the club would seemingly be perfectly suited to all parties involved.
