Watford face new competition for Bournemouth’s Julio Soler with Brazilian outfit Cruzeiro interested in taking him to South America.

Javi Gracia’s side are in a good vein of form in the Championship, and sit only a single point below Wrexham, who are sixth.

Former Championship striker Sam Parkin insisted in December that Watford’s young side have an ‘outside chance’ of making the playoffs, and the Hornets seem intent on doing their utmost to achieve that.
