PSG hijack deal for major Arsenal target

The latest report reveals that French Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain have hijacked the deal to sign Premier League side Watford defensive midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure in the January Transfer window.

The French side were initially not in the race for Abdoulaye Doucoure as he was only previously linked with Everton, Arsenal and Tottenham, with the Gunners leading and tipped to have him join the Old Trafford.

The North London‘s interest in Abdoulaye Doucoure became intense when it was obvious that Wales international Aaron Ramsey would be leaving the Emirate Stadium when his contract with the club expires at the end of the season.

However, PSG are now in the race and they are reported to be ready to intimidate other suitors with their big money bag.
