Everton and Crystal Palace have made enquiries about Watford forward Othmane Maamma as interest in the highly-rated youngster continues to grow.

The 20-year-old enjoyed a promising campaign in the Championship, scoring four goals and providing one assist in 25 appearances.

Maamma was previously linked with a move to Ligue 1 side Lille during the January transfer window but ultimately remained at Vicarage Road.

According to L'Équipe, the Premier League pair are monitoring the Morocco youth international, while Portuguese giants Benfica and an unnamed Ligue 1 club are also keen on securing his services.

Although Maamma remains under contract with Watford until 2029, a summer departure is increasingly likely given the level of interest.
