West Ham United, Everton and Chelsea are reportedly interested in Watford midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure.
According to The Mirror (Transfer Live blog, 6:11, Thursday, January 31, 2019), Chelsea are interested in singing Abdoulaye Doucoure from Watford on January transfer deadline day, and this is bad news for Everton and West Ham United.
According to The Daily Mail, West Ham and Everton are interested in the Watford midfielder.
The 26-year-old is a very good midfielder who will make the Hammers and the Toffees a better team, but with Chelsea reportedly interested in him, West Ham and Everton could miss out on the Frenchman.
After all, Chelsea are a bigger club than West Ham and Everton and can offer Doucoure more salary and Watford more transfer fee.
Moreover, the Blues are challenging for the top six of the Premier League this season and could well end up playing in the Champions League during the 2019-20 campaign.
According to WhoScored, Doucoure has made 21 starts and one substitute appearance in the Premier League for Watford so far this season, scoring three goals and providing five assists in the process.
