The young attacker is set to sign for Watford for the rest of the season.

According to a report from Gianluca Di Marzio, AC Milan winger M’Baye Niang is flying to London this morning to undergo a medical ahead of his proposed move to Watford.

The player is said to have set off at 9:00am so it should not be too long before he is touching down in the capital.

It remains to be seen if a deal will be announced today, but if there are no issues with the medical that is a distinct possibility.

Earlier this week, Sky Sports News claimed Watford had agreed a loan deal with Milan and the player was deciding whether to switch to the Hornets.

A £1million loan fee was suggested, with Milan wanting £13.6million to make the move permanent in the summer, and it now seems the player has opted to finish the campaign at Vicarage Road.

Niang is a talented winger-cum-forward and if he hits the ground running at Watford he could prove to be a very canny addition to their squad.
