England speedster Anthony Watson is set to leave Bath at the end of the 2020/21 Premiership season, according to RUCK sources.
The 26-year-old, who
had been linked with a move to Racing 92, is instead being linked with Quins.
The England International has made 105 appearances for Bath since signing from London Irish in 2013 and has portrayed his secure defence and elusive attacking style for his country, as well as representing the British and Irish Lions in 2017.
Having represented England through the age-groups, he made his full international debut in November 2014 against New Zealand and is now considered as an England regular.

rugby transfer centre.5 sets of rugby brothers you didn’t know about
When you think of brothers in rugby the likes of the Vunipola's, Jonny and Richie Gray and...er George and Joe Ford, come to mind.
We decided to look at some of the famous players with brothers in the game you might not have heard of and there's a few in here that may surprise you.
1. Graham Hogg
Scotland fullback Stuart Hogg’s brother, Graham, has played for Scotland in the IRB Sevens World Series as well as representing his country at under-18, under-19 and under-20. A very talented player, his career did not take off in the same way as his younger brother due to a number of serious knee injuries.
2. Mark Wilkinson
He spent his three-year professional career between 2002 and 2005 at Newcastle Falcons, alongside his brother, Jonny, predominantly playing as a
Centre.
3. Jerry Sexton
The younger brother of Ireland fly-half Johnny Sexton, he represented Leinster Rugby at schoolboy level but did not make the professional academy. The lock then moved to France to play lower level rugby before joining Exeter Chiefs. Following further stints with London Irish and Jersey Reds, Sexton joined South African Pro14 side Southern Kings on a three-year contract ahead of the 2019–20 season.
4. Frankie Nowell
The versatile 17-year-old back, who has a big reputation, is making a name for himself on the south coast. Currently plying his trade with the Exeter Chiefs U18, he is certainly a name to watch out for in the future.
5. Will Joseph
Joseph, from Newbury, Somerset, followed in the footsteps of his brother, England and Bath Rugby centre Jonathan ‘JJ’ Joseph, towards a career in professional rugby by signing with London Irish’s academy. Will, who is an outside centre, has also played in all the England U18 league matches, crossing for several tries. A very exciting prospect.
