Is the Argentine really what Watford need at the moment?
The 24-year-old currently plays for Udinese in the Serie A where has struggled for game time this season.
The idea of him getting improved game time at Watford is highly unlikely considering that they have enough wingers already.
Pussetto is by no means an improvement to what Watford have at the moment but he is a versatile option.
The Argentine is capable of playing anywhere across the front line as well as in a deeper role on the flanks to help out the defence.
Nigel Pearson has turned Watford’s season around since his appointment. The Hornets are unbeaten in their last five games, winning four of them which has lifted them out of the relegation zone for the first time since the early weeks of the season.
The Watford boss, however, is unlikely to have been the reason why the club are close to completing a deal for Pussetto.
Udinese and Watford share their owners and a number of players have made the switch from Italy to England over the years.
A few Watford fans are unsure if footballing reasons are behind the move while a few others are in favour of the 24-year-old joining the club. Here are a few Hornets fans reacting to the rumours:
