WATFORD have sealed a loan deal for Sunderland flop Didier Ndong.
The Hornets will borrow the midfielder – who cost the Black Cats £13.6million – with an option to buy at the end of the season.
Ndong’s departure frees up the wage bill for Sunderland to do some deadline day deals.
They are in talks to sign Liverpool midfielder Ovie Ejaria, 20, on loan, as well as Bournemouth’s Emerson Hyndman, 21.
Chris Coleman also expects to add Leeds keeper Andy Lonergan and also wants a striker.
Ndong becomes the Hornets’ third signing in 24 hours after they swooped to land Gerard Deulofeu on loan from Barcelona until the end of the season.
Ex-Everton star Deulofeu said: “I chose Watford because it’s a great team of the Premier League.
“I had different offers but I thought Watford is a perfect team for me and I’m the footballer to help Watford.
“I hope in these three or four months I can help the team and play well and win games.”

Watford have also landed Belgium Under-21 international Dodi Lukebakio, 20, from Charleroi on a four-and-a-half-year deal.
