Former Toffees boss Marco Silva wanted to bring the Frenchman to the club during his time on Merseyside, but a deal couldn’t work out.
With Watford now relegated, Doucoure is expected to leave this summer, and he could finally be joining Everton.
Sam Allardyce also wanted him when he was at Goodison Park, and the club could be third time lucky.
Liverpool were keen on bringing the 27-year-old to Anfield back in 2018, but they have since moved on, and he could now be joining their bitter city rivals.
