Watford are trailing in the race for Reims defender Hassane Kamara.

France Football says the Hornets, Nice and Olympique Marseille are all chasing the 26 year-old's signature ahead of the summer market.

Nice jumped into the lead for Kamara, after informing Reims they're set to make an opening offer.

OGCN are willing to pay €2.3m for Kamara - which is expected to kick Watford and OM into action.

Kamara, a left-sided fullback, has a deal with Reims to 2021.
