William Troost-Ekong will complete his loan transfer to Serie A club, Salernitana from Watford this week, reports Prompt News.
The loan deal will include an option to buy at the end of the season.
The Super Eagles vice-captain is already in Italy to undergo his medical.
Watford manager, Slaven Bilic has also confirmed Troost-Ekong’s departure.
“There is something about it I heard it before the game. It is not just a rumour,” Bilic told reporters.
“We need to bring something, we need to. Now if (Troost-Ekong) goes and with Christian Kabesele injured suddenly we are incredibly short so we need that if we want to do what we want to do.”
