Doucoure scored five times in 35 league appearances last season

Watford have rejected a £30m offer from Everton for midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure and have no intention of selling to the Toffees.

The 26-year-old joined the Hornets in 2016 and played under current Everton boss Marco Silva at Vicarage Road.

It is understood Frenchman Doucoure would not be willing to consider a move to a club outside the Premier League's established top six teams.

Silva has said he wants to sign more players external-link before Thursday's deadline.

Moise Kean, Andre Gomes, Fabian Delph and Jonas Lossl have moved to Goodison Park this summer, but Everton are looking for a central midfielder after Idrissa Gueye's exit to Paris St-Germain.
