Izzy Brown and Kasey Palmer were loaned from Chelsea and are wanted next season – but one would have to be on a permanent deal if they returned.

Wagner will also compete with Crystal Palace and Leicester for Anderlecht centre-back Kara Mbodji.

The Senegal defender is also on Watford’s radar as Younes Kaboul could leave the club in the summer.
