Watford have tabled an offer for Lille winger Sofiane Boufal.
The Watford Observer says a bid in the region of £16m has been agreed with the French club and the player has accepted a contract offer.
But the Hornets are one of a number of clubs chasing Boufal and a deal is a long way from being completed.
Watford are keen on the attacking midfielder and have made an ambitious move for the Morocco international.
