West Ham United should move for the defensive midfielder.
Etienne Capoue’s future at Watford is in doubt following a bust-up with manager Marco Silva, according to The Mail.
The French midfielder and the new Hornets boss reportedly found themselves in a blazing row after a behind-closed-doors defeat by Rangers during the week.
And if Silva does make him available for transfer then West Ham United should snap him up.
Of course, West Ham have the excellent Pedro Obiang as a defensive midfield option but Slaven Bilic has lost two other players in that role, with Havard Nordtveit going back to Germany and Reece Oxford joining Borussia Monchengladbach on loan.
There is room for another midfield anchor and the France international, valued at £8 million according to Transfermarkt, would be a decent option.
Capoue has proven himself a very decent player in the Premier League since leaving Tottenham for £6.3 million two years ago and he might just be a decent candidate to compete with Obiang next term.
