Watford are wrapping up a deal for Rennes midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure.

Le 10 Sport says Watford and Rennes struck terms on Friday over a €7 million deal for Doucoure.

Watford have been pursuing the midfielder for some months and hope to strike personal terms in the coming days.

The Hornets are also in advanced talks for Troyes goalkeeper Paul Bernardoni.

The two clubs have agreed terms over the 18 year-old, though Troyes' board are yet to rubberstamp the sale.
