Watford hopeful of signing John
Collins John in action for Fulham

Watford boss Aidy Boothroyd is waiting to find out if Fulham forward Collins John will agree to join them.

Boothroyd has had a �3.25m bid accepted for the 21-year-old and met John on Wednesday - but said he can understand why joining them is a tough decision.

"We are bottom of the league. Collins probably has dreams about wanting to play for his country. I can understand why people might have doubts," he said.

Watford are 10 points adrift of safety in the Premiership.

But Boothroyd added: "The response from Collins was good.

"He was receptive, and I had a lot of respect for what he said. He has an old head on young shoulders, and I will have to wait and see.

"I do not want to put time limits on it, although, if it gets to the end of January, I will think he has lost my number.

"I want him in as quickly as possible, but I accept that it is a big decision."

John joined Fulham in January 2004.
