Watford are set to majorly upgrade their midfield, if a recent report can be believed. 

Walter Mazzarri's side are, according to Top Calcio 24, very close indeed to signing Juventus midfielder Mario Lemina. 

Bought by the Bianconeri for 9 million at the end of last season, the Franco-Gabonese player has attracted interest from the Premier League, especially Stoke City, who recently saw a €15 million offer turned down. 

TC24 claim that the Pozzo-owned club is ready to offer €20m for Lemina, which would constitute a significant profit for the Bianconeri.
