Watford are reportedly interested in signing Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Paulinho.
The Brazil international struggled to hold down a regular first-team spot under Mauricio Pochettino last season and has been linked with a move away from White Hart Lane.
Watford have made one signing since earning promotion to the Premier League, with Austria defender Sebastian Prodl joining the Hornets on a five-year deal.
Paulinho, who signed for Spurs in 2013, is contracted to the North London side until 2018.
According to Sky Sport Italia, Watford have contacted the 26-year-old's agent to discuss a possible move to Vicarage Road.
Paulinho played 15 times in the Premier League last season.
