Spurs plan offer for Watford midfielder Hughes

Watford midfielder Will Hughes has emerged as a target for Tottenham.

The Mirror says Jose Mourinho is considering a surprise move for Watford midfielder Will Hughes.

The Hornets are facing a battle to keep hold of their best players this summer following relegation to the Championship.

And £13million-rated Hughes has emerged as a target for the Tottenham manager as he looks to reshape his squad.

Mourinho has already signed Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg from Southampton, Matt Doherty from Wolves and Joe Hart from Burnley.

And he knows that, whatever signings he makes, he needs to balance the books during this window.

As a result, he is open to defenders Juan Foyth, Serge Aurier and Danny Rose all leaving, as well as back-up goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga.
