Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly planning to make a move for Watford midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure this summer.
The 25-year-old is said to have impressed Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino in the Hornets' 4-1 victory over Chelsea on Monday night, a game in which he notched up two assists.
According to the Daily Mail, Watford are hoping to tie down Doucoure to a new deal but should they decide to sell, they will demand more than £20m for a player they signed for £8m from Rennes two years ago.
The newspaper claims that Javi Gracia's side are preparing for talks with the Frenchman and will offer him improved terms worth more than £60,000 a week in an attempt to convince him to sign a new long-term contract.
Arsenal and Liverpool are also said to be monitoring Doucoure's situation.
