Watford midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure has made no secret of his desire to move to Liverpool, saying it would be a "dream" to make the switch to Anfield.

The midfielder has made 30 appearances for the Hornets this term and has impressed at times in Watford's engine room with his athleticism and eye for goal.

Doucoure is Watford's top scorer this season with seven goals and has played a key part in the club's revival under Javi Gracia since the Spaniard's appointment as manager back in January.

However, the 25-year-old was frank when asked about his hopes of moving to Liverpool in the future by French media over the weekend.

"Liverpool is a club that needs no introduction," he told Canal+ .

"I was impatient to play there at Anfield, I wanted to feel the atmosphere. For me it would be a dream to play in a club like this.

"I am grateful to Watford, I have the confidence of this club, it is the one who revealed to me [to the Premier League].

"If there is an offer, we will discuss to find the best solution. Everyone wants to play in the Champions League, the big competitions."

Doucoure joined Watford from Rennes for £8million at the end of the January transfer window in 2016, penning a four-and-a-half-year deal.

He was immediately loaned to Granada in La Liga for the remainder of that season before returning for the 2016-17 campaign.

It was reported back in January that the Hornets had offered their midfielder an improved contract worth around £70,000 a week.
