Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly eyeing a double swoop for Watford pair Richarlison and Abdoulaye Doucoure.
The proposed deal is said to be expected to be worth £50 million and comes as Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino looks to bolster an already strong squad.
Richarlison and Doucoure have arguably been Watford’s two best players this season, despite the former having a dip in form in recent weeks.
However, the Brazilian, 20, could still fetch around £30m if sold, a considerable return on the £11.2m the Hornets paid for the winger last summer.
Watford are in no need to sell either player and have already looked to tie Doucoure to a new contract which would make him one of the club’s top earners.
The 25-year-old Frenchman is yet to agree to new terms on an offer which was put forward to his agent in January.
Pochettino was in the stands as Watford beat Chelsea 4-1 in the Premier League earlier this month, with reports suggesting he was running the rule over Doucoure.
