Everton are exploring a £35 million move for Watford winger Ismaila Sarr next month – but the Hornets expect to keep their big guns for a promotion charge.
The Senegal winger was set to sign for Aston Villa last August until the plug was pulled on a £25m plus add-ons deal at the last minute. Sarr, 24, has contributed six goals and three assists in Watford's bid to regain Premier League orbit at the first attempt following their dire relegation in May.
If they are prepared to talk terms with Everton, it would renew the Toffees' habit of shopping for players and managers at Vicarage Road.
