Watford interested in Le Havre defender Ferland Mendy?

Le Havre defender Ferland Mendy has reportedly attracted interest from Watford.

The Hornets are currently searching for new signings after the arrival of new head coach Marco Silva, and it appears that they are prepared to take a look at France's second flight.

According to L'Equipe, the 21-year-old full-back is being considered by the Portuguese after 34 league starts last season.

It is unclear whether Watford and Silva see Mendy as one for the future or for him to become part of their first-team squad, but they are not the only club said to be keen on his signature.

Everton are understood to hold an interest, as are several Ligue 1 sides, and it seems likely that he will leave his current team during the summer.
