The Nigerian international has played 17 games across all competitions for Watford this season and was out of favour earlier in the season.
Troost-Ekong will reportedly return to Italy where he played for Udinese from 2018 to 2020 when he joined Watford where he’s been ever since.
It also helps that current Salernitana coach Davide Nicola was in charge of Udinese when Troost-Ekong was there.
Salernitana are currently 16th on the Serie A table with 18 points from 18 games sitting six points above the relegation zone.
I Granata will be hoping the addition of the Nigerian captain will help steady their defence s they have conceded 35 goals in 18 games so far, the most in Serie A this season.
