As reported by The Daily Mirror, Watford are set to cash in on Abdoulaye Doucoure this summer, with Tottenham Hotspur one of the teams in hot pursuit of his signature.
What’s the story?
The paper say that the Hornets could feel forced into making a significant profit on the midfielder, who was signed for just £6m in 2016.
That’s despite positive financial results across the 2016/17 season, with the club looking to ensure their finances stay in the black going forward, reckon The Mirror.
The report states that selling Doucoure ‘looks inevitable’, with Tottenham Hotspur one of the teams mentioned that is monitoring the £40m-rated talent.
Is he the kind of signing Mauricio Pochettino needs to make in the upcoming transfer window?
A good move?
Spurs have a vast array of attacking talent and a solid first-choice defensive line too. In midfield however it could be argued they lack depth beyond the ageing Mousa Dembele in their efforts to compete at the very highest level.
It’s a central midfield that can often lack energy and dynamism too, with Abdoulaye Doucoure being a player that could certainly help in that regard.
With seven goals in the Premier League this season, he’s shown an ambition to support the Watford attack and a bravery to get on the ball to effect play in the final third.
Could Doucoure be the missing piece of the puzzle, replacing the likes of Eric Dier to partner Dembele and eventually replace the Belgian long-term?
