Nantes are moving for Watford fullback Dimitri Foulquier.

The Ligue 1 outfit see the 26 year-old as a replacement for Fabio da Silva, the former Manchester United fullback, after he suffered a heavy injury recently.

Ouest France says Nantes will seek to take Foulquier on-loan next month.

The defender has failed to make an impression at Vicarage Road, though did enjoy a successful loan in Spain with Getafe last season.

Foulquier has been on the books at Watford since 2017 and won the U20 World Cup with France in 2013.
