Five unnamed Premier League clubs are competing with Watford to sign Udinese striker Matej Vydra permanently, according to his agent.
Vydra moved to Vicarage Road on a season-long loan from Serie A outfit Udinese and has impressed - scoring 16 goals in 26 matches so far for the Championship side.
This impressive form in front of goal has led to interest from top-flight clubs in England, but his representative believes Watford have an advantage in securing a deal as the Pozzo family own both the Hornets and the Italian outfit.
Vydra's agent Ondrej Chovanec said: "At the moment, five Premier League clubs are interested in Matej.

"He has been at the club for six months, everything has worked fine, he has been coached by a great manager and the people love him. We have no reason to change anything.
"Thanks to the connection [between Watford and Udinese], it is one wallet, basically.
"I have been in talks over this matter with the Watford owner and director. Originally, I did not want to push the matter, but now when I see how people in this club would like to make that [a permanent deal] happen, it is very likely that Matej will become a Watford player in January."
Chovanec believes that only a big fee could see the Czech Republic international moving away from one of the Pozzo family-owned clubs.
He added: "Udinese or Watford will not sell him for £5 million. If you look back at the previous transfers of the clubs owned by the same owners, you will see that they only do big ones. They sold [Alexis] Sanchez to Barcelona [for £23m], for instance."
