Watford and West Bromwich Albion are chasing Olympique Lyon defender Henri Bedimo.
Maxifoot says the 30-year-old left-back has caught the eye of the Hornet.
But they will face competition from Premier League rivals West Brom for his services.
Formerly of Toulouse, Montpellier and Racing Club de Lens, the Cameroonian international made 27 league appearances as Lyon finished as runners up to Paris St-Germain in Ligue 1 last season.
