New Torino coach Walter Mazzarri is chasing Watford midfielder Etienne Capoue.

The Sun says Capoue, 29, is a target for former Hornets boss Mazzarri who has just taken over at Torino.

Yet Fiorentina are also interested in the player who did not feature in Marco Silva's matchday squad against Southampton at the weekend.

Capoue wants to leave Watford and West Ham were interested, although they have been put off by the £12million asking price.

Watford are unlikely to get more than £8m for a player they signed for £5.7m from Spurs in 2015.

Capoue has made 12 appearances for the Hornets this term and last featured in the FA Cup win at home to Bristol City.
