The Frenchman has been a star at Vicarage Road this season.
There is no doubt that Watford have found themselves a gem in the form of Etienne Capoue. The French midfielder was proving a flop at Tottenham Hotspur after a lucrative move from Toulouse.
The midfielder was struggling for fitness and first-team football so Watford took a gamble on him in the summer of 2015.
Last season he provided solidity and athleticism to the Watford midfield in their fight for survival in the Premier League.
This season he has added even more to his game. He has been scoring goals for the club, five in total this season, which has seen him linked with potential moves away from Vicarage Road.

However, he has made it clear he has no desire to leave England this weekend.
He was speaking to So Foot when he stated:
“Oh no, not at all! Football is English for me.
“There will not be Monaco and Paris … Do not say that.
“No (not Marseille). I prefer playing in England . The emotions that are here, you do not have them in France . Not even in Marseille.”

Watford fans will be very pleased to hear this from their French talisman. He has proved himself a genuine talent in the Hornets midfield and fans at the club would be disappointed to see him leave.
Hopefully he can continue to be a star for the Hornets in the years to come.
