Abdoulaye Doucoure move backed

Arsenal ‘should sign’ Watford midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure, according to club legend Paul Merson.Doucoure has been linked with leaving Vicarage Road with both Paris Saint-Germain and Everton interested in his services, but Merson thinks it is Arsenal who should be swooping for the midfielder.

Doucoure remains a key player for Watford though he is not performing at the same level as he did last season

Merson told Sky Sports: “They should sign Abdoulaye Doucoure at Watford – he’d walk into the team. I’d take him tomorrow morning.“He’s a much better player than Torreira and he scores goals. He’s one of the most under-rated players in the Premier League – he could play for any of the top six.”

Denis Suarez move close

Suarez edges closer to sealing a loan switch to Arsenal, having been left out Barcelona’s squad for their previous two matches.The midfielder, 25, also teased the move by ‘liking’ an Instagram post which concerned Arsenal’s 2-0 defeat of Chelsea over the weekend.Reports last week appeared to suggest Suarez’s move have fallen through, but it is believed the deal is still on with a week left to be completed.
