Haviv Ohayon, 18, has joined Premier League team Watford on loan from Maccabi Tel Aviv.

Ohayon, the Israeli under-19 goalkeeper, impressed the Hornets coaching staff during a three-day trial last January and as he holds a Romanian passport there were no work permit issues.

He played five pre-season friendlies for Tel Aviv as well as the Toto Cup but has yet to make his league debut.

Ohayon, 18, travelled to Vicarage Road on Wednesday with his agent Avi Nimni to undergo a medical. He will join Watford's under-23 squad after the club paid in the region of £1.75 million.
