# Everton: Fans laud link to Watford ace Abdoulaye Doucoure; Arsenal also interested

**Plenty of Everton fans have been lauding the latest transfer link to Watford ace Abdoulaye Doucoure as the [Daily Mirror](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/watford-fight-avoid-transfer-exodus-22452268) have reported that the Merseyside club as well as Arsenal are interested in signing him in the summer window.**

This follows the previous news that Carlo Ancelotti’s team had apparently [enquired about the possible availability of both Doucoure and fellow Hornets teammate Ismaila Sarr, which was welcomed by several members of the Goodison Park faithful](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/everton-fc-transfer-rumours/everton-fans-sarr-doucoure-transfer-rumours/).

Indeed, the [£18 million-valued](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/abdoulaye-doucoure/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/127187/plus/0?saison=2019&verein=&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=) ace played in all but one of the games in the Premier League for the Hertfordshire side in the 2019/20 season, scoring four goals and making a further two assists, according to [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/abdoulaye-doucoure/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/127187/plus/0?saison=2019&verein=&liga=&wettbewerb=GB1&pos=&trainer_id=).

With WFC being relegated from the top flight, the 27-year old could well be available for a cheaper price, which may interest the Toffees.

These EFC supporters lauded the link to the Frenchman on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/EvertonNewsFeed/status/1289517645625036801), with one Blue even describing him as ‘Gana-esque’, believing that the central midfield player could fill in the void left by Idrissa Gana Gueye, who [played in 108 matches in all competitions for them in the middle of the park](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/idrissa-gueye/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/126665/plus/0?saison=&verein=29&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=):
