Watford have joined the interest for Pescara midfielder Mamadou Coulibaly.

The exciting 18 year-old midfield talent is expected to be cashed in by his Serie A club this summer.

Juventus and Tottenham have asked Pescara to name their price for Coulibaly.

However, Watford are also in contact and eager to close a deal quickly - with new manager Marco Silva backing the deal.

The better prospect of first team football at Watford gives them an advantage in negotiations with the youngster's minders.
