Watford midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure insists he'll 'easily' be allowed to leave the club at the end of the season, 12 months after Everton saw two bids rejected for the player.
The 27-year-old has caught the eye in recent months during Watford's upturn in results since Nigel Pearson's arrival, although they remain adrift in the hunt to secure survival.
In the weeks following Christmas, Watford secured vital victories against the likes of Manchester United, Aston Villa, Wolves and Bournemouth - but have seen results curtail in recent weeks.
Doucoure will be vital in his side's push to avoid relegation and already has plenty of suitors, who will be encouraged by his recent comments on his future.
“We are arriving at the end of a cycle. I think I can still progress massively. I can still do great things. Obviously, if I am pushed to change clubs, it will be to make a step forward," he told the Mirror.
“If a club of a high level comes and makes an interesting offer for me, of course the club will let me go easily.
“Of course, the clubs who play in the Champions League are the objective for every player. After that, I don't want a particular club.
"I am happy in the Premier League. I am sure I want to stay in the Premier League. We will see who presents themselves for me or not this summer.”
