Arsenal 'lining up summer move for Abdoulaye Doucoure'

Arsenal are reportedly keen on a summer deal for Watford midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure.

The Frenchman has spent the last four seasons with the Hornets, making 141 appearances in all competitions.

The 27-year-old's contract at Vicarage Road is not due to expire until June 2023, but he could be on the move this summer following Watford's relegation to the Championship.

According to The Mirror, Arsenal are 'lining up a swoop' for the attacking midfielder, although the Gunners might have to move both Matteo Guendouzi and Lucas Torreira on in order to complete a deal.

Doucoure, who is also believed to be attracting the attention of Everton, scored four times and registered two assists in 37 Premier League appearances during the 2019-20 campaign.

Mikel Arteta's side have also allegedly been offered the chance to sign Barcelona's Philippe Coutinho.
