WATFORD are still keen to sign Benfica winger Andre Carrillo.
Marco Silva wants a reunion with the Peru wideman having worked with Carrillo at old club Sporting Lisbon.
Carrillo’s arrival could see Moroccan flier Nordin Amrabat return to Spain with Deportivo La Coruna keen.
The 26-year-old netted twice during Benfica’s successful campaign as they won the Portuguese Liga title.
The club even beat Borussia Dortmund at home, before losing 4-0 to the German giants in the round of 16.
Carrillo has also scored twice for Peru in international football in 34 games.
Watford completed the signature of Chelsea midfielder Nathaniel Chalobah on a five-year deal on Friday.
Silva has already nabbed Tom Cleverley from Everton, Jorge Segura from Envigado, Will Hughes from Derby, Kiko Femenia from Alaves and Daniel Bachmann from Stoke this summer.

The Hornets managed to stay one place above the drop zone at the end of last season as they finished in 17th place, but a comfortable six points ahead of Hull in the end.
But Silva knows he will need to improve his squad with the Premier League’s clubs set to spend more money than ever this summer.
