WATFORD are reportedly looking to sign Genk defender Omar Colley this summer.
The Watford Observer claims Hornets chiefs are keen to push ahead with transfers despite firing boss Walter Mazzarri.
A replacement is yet to be found but that’s not stopping the club from pursuing a number of targets.
Top of their list is Colley, a 24-year-old Gambia international who plays at centre-back.
It’s claimed he was scouted by Watford in January but could now finally be set for a Premier League switch.
Meanwhile, a new gaffer is set to arrive shortly, with former Leicester and Chelsea manager Claudio Ranieri favourite for the job.
There is strong interest in ex-Bayer Leverkusen chief Roger Schmidt, with former Hull leader Marco Silva also in the running.
