Tottenham have perfect chance to sign long-term target.
Watford midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure has once again expressed his clear desire to quit the club.
Doucoure told The Sun: “Yes, I think I will leave Watford.
“I think I will reach a new level by signing for another club, who are playing in European competitions.
“My priority is a club who are playing in the Champions League.”
This is a situation which should alert Tottenham Hotspur, who have long been linked with him, via The Mirror.
Doucoure would be a perfect mid-season addition for Spurs, who are set to sell Mousa Dembele.
The central midfielder has been playing a more defensive role this season, but can contribute in an attacking sense too, netting seven times last season.
The Mirror has previously claimed Doucoure could cost clubs £50 million.
Doucoure would be eligible to play in the Champions League against Borussia Dortmund.
He would be an expensive signing for Tottenham, but they will struggle to find anybody better suited his month.
Despite defeat to Manchester United, Tottenham are still in the title race, and investing in the squad now is essential to standing any chance of winning silverware.
