Watford are currently deciding whether to let attacker Matej Vydra join Nottingham Forest on loan.

Forest have asked about the 23-year-old's availability and the offer of a loan deal has not been rejected by the Hornets.

The newly-promoted Premier League club, who have drawn their opening two fixtures against Everton and West Brom, are not in a rush to make a decision, however, as top-flight teams can loan players to the Championship until November.

Speaking ahead of their third game of the season at home to Southampton, manager Quique Sanchez Flores said: "We didn't take any decision yet. We have to wait a little bit more.

"We have to take a three or four days. You know it is football so a lot depends on the players, a lot depends on the teams. A lot of things can change in football in one day."
