Watford keen to sign Blackburn Rovers striker Gestede

Watford are ready to make their first major transfer since winning promotion to the Premier League as they close in on the £5 million signing of Blackburn striker Rudy Gestede, according to Daily Mail.

The 26-year-old striker has netted an impressive 20 goals for Championship side Blackburn this season and has been linked with a move to the Premier League side in the past.

Gestede is now wanted by newly promoted side Watford, who are keen to find attacking options that will provide suitable back-up and cover for Troy Deeney and Odion Ighalo.

The Benin international was born in France, and his career started off at Metz, before moving to England in the summer of 2011, joining Cardiff City.

West Ham United have also been keen on the talented goalscorer, although it now seems that newly promoted side are very close to sealing a deal.
