Everton boss Marco Silva is ready to return to Watford again in the hope of signing Abdoulaye Doucoure.

According to a report in the Daily Mirror, Everton’s board are ready to make a move for Watford’s Abdoulaye Doucoure, with Marco Silva wanting the central midfielder.

Silva knows Doucoure well from his time at Vicarage Road, and now wants to bring the Frenchman to Everton with him.

Watford suggested when Silva left that the would not do business with Everton, but they seem to have relaxed that stance now.

Everton have already bought Richarlison from the Hornets, and he has been a huge hit.

Silva now wants Doucoure on Merseyside, as he looks to bolster Everton’s midfield ranks.

The Toffees already have a collection of central midfielders to call upon, but Doucoure could strengthen their options in the middle of the pitch even further.

If Doucoure was brought to Goodison Park he would be in competition with the likes of Idrrisa Gueye, Andre Gomes and Tom Davies for a first-team place.
