Watford are finalising a deal for Burnley striker Andre Gray.

The London Evening Standard says the Hornets are closing in on the signing of Gray from Burnley, having agreed to pay £18.5million for the striker.

The 26-year-old is set to finalise a move before the start of the season, with a medical expected to be taken on Wednesday, and will become the seventh signing made by new head coach Marco Silva.

The Hornets net spend for the summer will soar above £30m upon completion of the deal, after Nathaniel Chalobah and Will Hughes arrived for £8m each from Chelsea and Derby respectively.

Burnley accepted an offer from Watford because Gray, who moved to Turf Moor from Brentford for £9m in 2015, was in the final year of his contract.
