According to the report coming from the Vicarage Road, relegated Watford FC seems not ready to sign Nigeria's Super Eagles midfielder Oghenekaro Etebo on a permanent deal, BSNsports.com.ng gathered

The Hornets signed Etebo on a loan deal from Stoke City at the start of the season, which included a buy option.

The 26-year-old has only made nine Premier League appearances for Watford this season, he spent most of the season in the treatment room due to the injury he sustained in the game against Newcastle United earlier in the season.

As a result, it is unlikely that the Nigerian international will return to Vicarage Road next season, and will instead join back up with the Stoke City squad.

The Potters finished in 14th place of the Championship last season. Joe Allen is leaving the club, meaning Etebo could come straight back into the side.
