Watford defender Marc Navarro is set to return to La Liga after just one year away as Leganes close in on a transfer, report Marca.

The 24-year-old has made just five appearances for the Hornets across all competitions since joining on a €2m permanent deal from Espanyol last summer.

It is said that the English club have agreed to loan out the defender with a purchase option included from Leganes, who have been pursuing a deal for months.

Navarro previously featured in 31 top flight matches in Spain for Espanyol – with whom he had spent the entirety of his professional career until last summer.
