Everton have launched a bid for Watford midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure.

RMC says Everton have offered £25m for the Frenchman - plus another €5m in bonuses.

But Watford have rejected the proposal.

Doucoure has been on Watford's books since his move from Rennes in February 2016.

New Everton boss Marco Silva worked with midfielder at Vicarage Road last season.
