Watford face losing Cucho Hernandez after relegation.

US media sources are claiming that Major League Soccer's Columbus Crew are close to signing Watford forward Cucho Hernandez.

The Ohio-based club are now discussing contract details with the Colombian striker, 23, who was a bright spark for the Hornets during Roy Hodgson's ill-fated reign which ended in relegation from the Premier league last season.

Hernandez has also been linked with a return to Spain.
