Everton have confirmed they will sign Watford mdifielder Abdoulaye Doucoure in a deal that could be worth up to £25 million.

The 27-year-old French midfielder had been linked with Everton for much of the tranfser window and was primed for a move away once Watford were relegated from the Premier League.
