Premier League side Watford have reportedly agreed a deal to sign Andre Gray from Burnley for £11.5million.

The 26-year-old scored nine goals in 32 Premier League appearances last season for the Clarets, who finished in 16th place and six points off the relegation zone.

And Sky Sports claims that the fee has been agreed and that personal terms will be discussed on Wednesday ahead of a medical.

The Hornets have already done some impressive business this summer with Daniel Bachmann, Tom Cleverley, Kiko Femenia, Will Hughes, Nathaniel Chalobah and Richarlison all coming into Vicarage Road.

Following spells in non-league football with Hinckley United and Luton Town, he got his move to the Championship with Brentford in 2014, where he scored 20 goals in 52 matches.

Burnley reportedly paid a club-record £6million fee for his services in 2015 and now the 26-year-old has less than 12 months remaining on his contract at Turf Moor.
