Sources: Barnsley in talks to sign Watford loanee Domingos Quina from Fulham
Barnsley are in talks to sign Watford winger Domingos Quina, Football Insider understands.
The 22-year-old has endured a frustrating time on loan at Fulham, making just four appearances in all competitions for Marco Silva’s side.
A recruitment source has told Football Insider that Barnsley are hoping to beat several of their Championship rivals to the signature of Quina before the transfer window closes.
Watford are willing to recall the wide man and send him on loan elsewhere.
Just before moving to Craven Cottage in the summer, Quina signed a new deal at Watford that will keep him at the club until 2024.
He has managed just four appearances for Fulham this term and has not made a Championship matchday squad since the beginning of October.
On 27 January, this site revealed Swansea City are also interested in signing the winger.
Swans may need to add attacking reinforcements as Jamie Paterson’s situation remains up in the air.
He is currently training with the Under 23s after contract talks with the club broke down.
If he moves to Oakwell, Quina could offer Barnsley some much-needed creativity in the second half of the season.
He played 16 times for Watford as they earned automatic promotion from the Championship last season and he also has 12 Premier League appearances to his name.
Barnsley are rock bottom of the Championship but have a game in hand on Reading, who occupy 21st place.
Their last league win came on 3 November against fellow strugglers Derby County.
