Watford are hopeful of signing two defenders before the transfer deadline.

Watford are hopeful of signing at least two defenders before Thursday’s transfer deadline.

According to reports from Gianlucadimarzio.com, Bayer Leverkusen defender Aleksander Dragovic could be on his way to Watford.

The 26-year-old Austrian defender has been targeted by several Italian clubs, but none of them have been able to reach an agreement with him.

The report claims that Watford are hopeful of signing the defender, and bring him to England before the deadline.

Dragovic joined Bayer Leverkusen from Dynamo Kiev in 2016, and made 19 Bundesliga appearances for the club last season.

He has made 54 appearances for his national team, and has one goal to his name.

Another defender who could be on his way to Vicarage Road tonight is Sporting Lisbon’s Dutch left-back Marvin Zeegelaar.

According to reports from Sky Sports (transfer live blog; August 31 – 14:27 pm), Watford are expected to complete a £3 million deal for the 27-year-old left-back.

He has been with Sporting since 2015, and has made 31 appearances for the club in the Portuguese League.
