Watford make contact for Stambouli
The news stories emanating from France all seem to be surrounding the future of Benjamin Stambouli at the moment who didn't get much Premier League action under Mauricio Pochettino in his first season with us.
French daily L'Equipe ran a story about Marseilles asking to take the Frenchman on loan but being refused amid suggestions only a permanent deal would suit Tottenham. As Marseilles tried to sign him before he chose us and as he is family orientated and from Marseilles the stories make sense.
They went on to say that Tottenham have suggested taking Giannelli Imbula in return. The French club have to operate within Financial Fair Play rules and are thus restricted by their income. Commercial revenue is not enough to keep the club afloat so selling players is a requirement. They have recently put in place a wage cap that will see them lose André Ayew and Andre-Pierre Gignac as our of contract players.
L'Equipe quoted Stambouli's agent as saying he would like to stay in the Premier League and would only leave for Marseilles. Following on from that news they now report that newly promoted Watford have contacted his advisors about his availability.
