Watford join Marseille in the race for Tottenham flop

1 Benjamin Stambouli in action for Tottenham

Watford have joined the race for Tottenham midfielder Benjamin Stambouli.

talkSPORT told you on Monday about Marseille’s interest in the Frenchman, who has struggled to find a spot in Spurs’ first-team this season.

The 24-year-old arrived at White Hart Lane last summer from Montpellier but it is thought that Tottenham are already willing to listen to offers for him.

And, according to L’Equipe, that has sparked interest from newly-promoted Watford who are ready to battle Marseille for his signature.

The Hornets are still on the hunt for a new manager after parting ways with Slavisa Jokanovic last month.

However, that has not stopped them beginning their summer recruitment drive, with the club identifying Stambouli as a main target.
