The Bournemouth ace has been heavily linked with a move to Wolverhampton Wanderers, but Watford are also in with a shout, according to the bookies.
Popular bookmakers SkyBET have cut the odds on the Hornets signing Cherries ace Benik Afobe, listing them as the new second favourites in the race for his signature.
New Watford boss Javi Gracia will be determined to bolster his ranks at Vicarage Road before the transfer window slams shut on Wednesday, and the 24-year-old striker could be just the man to help get the Spaniard’s side’s season back on track.
SkyBET have cut the odds on the Hertfordshire outfit winning the race to sign Afobe from 12/1 into 3/1, making them second favourites behind the forward’s former club Wolves at 10/11.
The Black Country outfit have been heavily linked with a move to sign the former Arsenal ace, with the Sun (print edition, page 60, January 28th)claiming that Nuno Espirito Santo is keen on bringing him to Molineux on loan.
A deal is far from being done though, so Hornets could definitely sneak in and gazump the Championship side, what with the advantage of being able to offer Premier League football.
With just 60 hours remaining until the transfer window slams shut, this will certainly be one for Watford fans to keep a close eye on.
