Watford want Lovre Kalinic from Gent in £10million deal as Marco Silva targets 6ft 7in goalkeeper in summer swoop
WATFORD are ready to offer £10million for Croatian keeper Lovre Kalinic as they look for a new No1.
Marco Silva’s spies have turned to 6ft 7in Kalinic, who plays for Gent in Belgium after a move to Aston Villa fell down over a work permit issue a couple of seasons ago.

The Hornets are willing to offer the big asking price as that helps the 27-year-old’s case for coming into the country when he applies to get in.
Silva has turned to the Croatia international after being quoted too much money for first-choice Rui Patricio by Sporting Lisbon. They want around £13million for the Portuguese international.
Kalinic is seen as a No1 despite popular Brazilian Heurelho Gomes signing a new deal.
Ex-Manchester City keeper Costel Pantilimon could be offered a settlement to leave if Watford land Kalinic.
The Hornets yesterday drew at home to Liverpool, whose striker Danny Ings looks set to stay at Anfield while he regains fitness.
That could cool the interest of Newcastle and Brighton, while his former club Burnley were keen on a loan move.
