Watford goalkeeper Bachmann had to wait patiently for his chance in the starting XI at Vicarage Road but he has been the starting ‘keeper for a little while now. He has kept 29 clean sheets in 86 games for the Hornets since signing in 2017 and missed only one Championship game last season.

Question marks have surrounded his future recently though. His contract is up next summer and it was claimed earlier this month that the Austrian international was drawing admiring glances from other Championship clubs.

Now though, TEAMtalk has claimed talks between Watford and Bachmann are ongoing over a new contract

The discussions are at an advanced stage as the club look to tie down the services of their no.1 on a long-term basis.

The signing of a new contract would almost certainly end any chance of a summer exit.
