Watford reportedly agree a £7.5m fee with Newcastle United for full-back Daryl Janmaat.

Watford have had an offer of around £7.5m accepted for Newcastle United defender Daryl Janmaat, according to reports.

Speculation emerged yesterday suggesting that the 27-year-old was on Watford's radar, while West Ham United were also thought to be interested in bringing him back to the Premier League.

Sky Sports News now reports that the Hornets have agreed a fee for the Netherlands international, thought to be in the region of £7.5m.

Newcastle boss Rafael Benitez initially seemed reluctant to sell Janmaat, but the Magpies now look set to sign DeAndre Yedlin from Tottenham Hotspur as a replacement.

Janmaat, who has been left out for Newcastle's last three games, joins Andros Townsend and Georginio Wijnaldum in leaving the Magpies for a Premier League club this summer.
