Success was loaned to Spanish side Malaga last season, and now Villa are reportedly keen.
Success, 22, was loaned to Malaga during the second half of last season and was part of the side that finished rock bottom of Spain’s top tier, with just 20 points from 38 games.
One-time Nigeria international Success managed only nine league appearances during his loan spell with the Spanish outfit, failing to find the back of the net once and has now been told he is surplus to requirements at Watford.
Success was bought by Watford back in the summer of 2016 from Granada for a fee believed to be in the region of £12.5million, picking up the Hornets’ number 10 shirt. But he has managed just 20 appearances for Watford since.
Now, Steve Bruce is said to be close to tying up a loan deal for Success, as the versatile attacker looks to get his career back on track after a difficult couple of years which have seen him struggle to live up to his potential.
The deal is believed to be a loan-to-buy option, with Watford seemingly keen to cash on Success but Villa unsure on making a permanent offer for Success. He has a contract at Vicarage Road until the summer of 2021.
