Watford eyeing swoop for young French full-back Ferland Mendy from Ligue 2 side Le Havre
Marco Silva is ready to delve into the summer market to bolster his new Watford side
MARCO SILVA is looking to make full-back Ferland Mendy his first signing as Watford boss.
The newly appointed Portuguese boss is ready to revamp the Hornets squad over the summer ahead of the new Premier League campaign.
And he is looking to raid Ligue 2 side Le Havre to land the 21-year-old who is attracting interest from a Premier League rival.
, Everton are keen on landing the talent alongside Ligue 1 sides Lyon, Marseille, Bordeaux and Lille.
Mendy was an integral figure in Le Havre's side last season with 34 league starts to his name.
Watford feel they can lure him to the Premier League for a cut-price fee of £4million with just a year left on his current contract.
It could be a summer of change at Vicarage Road this summer with club captain Troy Deeney being lined up with a staggering move to West Brom.
The Baggies are prepared to break a club record and pay the striker £100,000-a-week to join the Hawthorns.
Watford have also lined up Genk defender Omar Colley over a summer switch.
