Olympique Lyon have approached Watford for Etienne Capoue.

Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas is ready to back coach Rudi Garcia and spend big in the January market.

Among the targets is a new midfield addition, which has led OL to Watford and Capoue.

RMC says OL have approached Watford in recent days to attempt to open negotiations for the French midfielder.

However, Watford gave the enquiry short shrift, insisting Capoue is not for sale.
