Watford chasing Blackburn striker Gestede

Watford are launching a bid for Blackburn Rovers striker Rudy Gestede.

The Daily Mail says Watford are on the verge of signing Blackburn's FA Cup hero Gestede for £5m.

The newly promoted Barclays Premier League team want more firepower alongside Troy Deeney up front next season.

Gestede, 26, came to prominence during Blackburn's FA Cup run before they were knocked out in the quarter final replay by Liverpool at Ewood Park.
