Watford are in talks to sign two new goalkeepers, according to reports in both the English and Swedish media.

According to the Sun, the Hornets are close to agreeing a £2.65 million deal to sign Adrian Semper from Dinamo Zagreb – ahead of Premier League champions Chelsea.

While Expressen reports the Hertfordshire side are in final negotiations over the transfer of Pontus Dahlberg from IFK Goteborg – despite recent interest from another league rival, Everton.

Both players are still in their teens, and their arrival would freshen up a Watford goalkeeping department comprising 30-plus duo Heurelho Gomes and Orestis Karnezis.

Heurelho Gomes of Watford receives treatment from the medical team during the Premier League match between Everton and Watford at Goodison Park on November 5, 2017 in Liverpool, England.

The Hornets also have 23-year-old Daniel Bachmann on their books, although he is yet to make a competitive appearance for the club.

A deal for either Semper or Dahlberg – who it is claimed would cost between £2.7 million to £3.6 million – would be classed as a coup for Watford, given the alleged interest from Chelsea and Everton.
