Watford target signing of Sunderland midfielder Didier Ndong?

Sunderland midfielder Didier Ndong has reportedly emerged as a transfer target for Watford.

Since moving to the Stadium of Light in August 2016, Ndong has made a total of 53 appearances for the Black Cats, but the North-East outfit are open to offers for the 23-year-old.

Ndong remains one of the top earners at the Championship team and with Chris Coleman needing to raise funds in order to reshape his squad, the Gabon international could leave the club.

According to the Daily Star, Watford are ready to make their move for Ndong, who could be available for a fee in the region of £7m.

The Hornets have won just one of their last nine Premier League games and boss Marco Silva is keen to make improvements in the centre of the park.
