Watford manager Javi Gracia says achieving Arsene Wenger's success would be 'impossible' in the modern game

Watford boss Javi Gracia admits he is unsure if midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure will remain with the Hornets in the long-term. 

The 25-year-old, whose current contract expires in 2020, has been linked with Arsenal, Tottenham and Liverpool in recent months.

"I think he is very happy with the team, the supporters and the club," Gracia said.

"I do not know what will happen in the future. If he will sign a new contract, if he will stay with us a long time I do not know.

"He has a very good attitude and helps the team all the time with a good mentality and a good attitude."
