Watford striker Obbi Oulare is on the verge of joining Zulte Waregem on loan according to reports in Belgium.

The 20-year-old forward has struggled to make an impression at Vicarage Road during his first year at the club. 

Oulare moved to the Premier League side last summer from Club Brugge on a five-year deal.

But the 6ft 5 in striker only made three appearances for the first team and was taken off after 45 minutes in his only start against Newcastle United in the FA Cup in January.

Oulare's chances of featuring for the Hornets this season have not been helped by the arrival of Jerome Sinclair and Isaac Success.

Rather than being limited to playing for the Under-21 side, Watford have decided to send him out on loan and a switch to Belgian Pro League outfit Zulte Waregem is expected to be confirmed soon. 

The Belgium Under-21 international scored nine goals in 39 appearances for Club Brugge prior to moving to England.
