Watford midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure flattered by transfer talk

Watford midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure has suggested that he may consider a summer move away from Vicarage Road amid reported interest from the likes of Arsenal and Liverpool.

The 25-year-old has been crucial for the Hornets this season, scoring seven goals as Javi Gracia's charges edged away from the lower reaches of the table and up into 11th place.

Doucoure's bright form has seen him linked with a number of clubs, with Arsene Wenger's Gunners and Jurgen Klopp's Reds thought to be interested in the France international.

"I'm coming to an important step," Doucoure, who joined Watford from Rennes in 2016, told French outlet L'Equipe.

"It's a pleasure to see these big clubs interested in me. We'll see what the state of play is in the summer and then we can ask questions."

Doucoure has made 51 appearances for Watford, scoring eight goals and registering three assists.
