Watford midfielder Moussa Sissoko is closing on a £1.8million move to Nantes, while former Watford striker Andre Gray has a deal in place with Greek side Aris Thessaloniki.

The midfielder only joined the relegated side last summer after making the move to the Hornets from Tottenham.

With a year still left on his contract in north London, Sissoko will return to France for the first time since 2013, when he left Toulouse to join Newcastle.

Sissoko made 38 appearances for Watford, scoring twice as the side limped to top-flight relegation.

Gray is available on a free transfer this summer after being released by Watford when his contract expired.

Watford announced the exits of 27 players from Vicarage Road at the start of June following their relegation to the Championship, including Gray.

The Jamaica international spent five years at Watford where he scored 20 times and provided eight assists in 124 games across all competitions.

He spent the 2021-22 season on loan at Queens Park Rangers where he racked up 10 goals in 30 appearances.

Gray is now set to join the Greek side who will play in the Europa Conference League next season.
