Villarreal have opened talks with Watford over a deal for midfielder Etienne Capoue.
The 32-year old is wanted by coach Unai Emery though Watford want around £4million for the Frenchman who has just over two years left on contract.
Villarreal are offering a two and a half year contract to the former Tottenham midfielder who is expected to travel to Spain once the final details on a fee are agreed.
The LaLiga side have made a bright start to the season and currently sit inside the Champions League spots.
