Report: Irons eyeing PL midfielder
The 29 year old has been a major player for the Hornets since they returned to the Premier League and would cost the Hammers around £12 million.
The Daily Mail claims the Hammers are interested in the player and that the deal is open for discussion with Watford.
The Frenchman – previously with Spurs – scored seven times for the club last season to finish as the club’s second highest goalscorer in the league.
However, the holding midfielder has started just four times and made five appearances from the bench.
Manager David Moyes is determined to bring in a midfielder but has often repeated that he won’t buy players that aren’t better than what we already have and this one seems debatable at that level.
