Report: Watford eye Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Benjamin Stambouli

Premier League new boys Watford are reportedly weighing up a summer move for out-of-favour Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Benjamin Stambouli.

Speculation has mounted that Spurs have deemed the 24-year-old surplus to requirements after struggling to nail down a first-team place in his first season.

Marseille are also said to be keen but the Frenchman is determined to stay in England and the Hornets could swoop, according to the Daily Mail.

Stambouli, whose contract expires in 2019, started just four Premier League games last season following a reported £5m switch from Montpellier.
