Watford have been linked with a move for Bournemouth winger Max Gradel.

The Ivory Coast international is currently away at the Africa Cup of Nations but according to the Mirror is attracting the interest of the Hornets. 

Gradel has yet to start a Premier League game this season for the Cherries making just five substitute appearances.

The 29-year-old came off the bench for the Ivory Coast in yesterday's goalless draw against Togo.

Gradel has been linked with several clubs this month including Burnley and West Ham United with the attacker seemingly keen on securing regular football.

Watford's lack of pace has been an issue this season and Gradel's speed could appeal to the club.

The former Leeds United attacker has previously been linked with the Hornets in recent years.

Watford signed Tom Cleverley last week on loan and are known to be keen on bringing in Mauro Zarate
