Watford rejects Everton’s opening offer for Abdoulaye Doucoure as the relegating Hornets can take £ 25million for the French midfielder
- Everton must raise their bid to land Watford’s Abdoulaye Doucoure
- Their opening offer was turned down and they didn’t sign it last year
- Watford is believed to want around £ 25 million for the 27-year-old Frenchman
Everton had turned down an opening offer for Watford’s Abdoulaye Doucoure.
The 27-year-old wants to leave Vicarage Road after Watford’s relegation and wants to connect with Carlo Ancelotti.
Everton failed on a £ 30million offer to sign Doucoure a year ago but returned after missing out on Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, who came to Tottenham from Southampton.

The 27-year-old Frenchman has played 141 games for the Hornets and has scored 17 goals since joining in 2016.
It is believed Watford would accept around £ 25m this summer as they plan an eviction with Troy Deeney, Danny Welbeck, Andre Gray, Ben Foster, Luis Suarez, Craig Dawson and Ismaila Sarr, all of whom are of interest.
Everton have also been linked with Napoli’s midfielder Allan, but the Italians want £ 30m for the 29-year-old.
