Livingston defender Jack Fitzwater interesting Watford and Burnley

Livingston defender Jack Fitzwater is interesting Watford and Burnley.

The Daily Mail says Burnley and Watford are weighing up a move for Fitzwater.

The 24-year old is a former graduate of West Brom's academy and has been impressing in the Scottish Premiership this season making 28 appearances overall.

His displays have prompted glowing reports from Premier League and Championship scouts with a number of clubs looking out for centre backs.

Fitzwater is under contract until 2023 but Livingston would be willing to sell if Burnley or Watford firm up their interest.

Burnley in particular have been scouring the market for a defender and, with their budget limited, a bargain deal for Birmingham-born Fitzwater could suit.

Livingston are likely to demand around £1million for the 6ft 3ins defender who has had to shoulder responsibility in a relatively young side.
