Watford are the latest Premier League club to be linked with a move for one-time Arsenal and Liverpool target Paul-Georges Ntep.
The Rennes winger is out of contract next summer and is not interested in signing a new deal.
The French club do not want him to leave on a free transfer at the end of the season so they could be forced to cash in on the 24-year-old in January.
Both Arsenal and Liverpool have been strongly linked with Ntep in the past.
However, according to Le10Sport, it is now Watford leading the chase for his signature and they have already held talks with Rennes about a deal.
