ANDRE Gray is having a medical at Watford as he closes in on an £18million Burnley exit.

The Lancashire Telegraph understands the 26-year-old striker could complete his move to Vicarage Road today after the Clarets accepted a bid from the Hornets late last night.

Gray had just a year remaining on his Turf Moor deal and having rejected an extension had shown no signs of being keen to extend that stay.

As he is over the age of 24 he would have been able to leave on a free transfer at the end of next season.

Gray's future has been the subject of much speculation this summer, but it is understood Watford were the only side to make a major move for the Championship top scorer of 2015/16.
