Sofyan Amrabat tempted to join his brother at Watford

Reported Watford target Sofyan Amrabat has admitted he would be tempted to play alongside his older brother, Hornets midfielder Nordin, should he move to England.

The 20-year-old has enjoyed a breakthrough season in Dutch football with FC Utrecht and made his international debut for Morocco against Tunisia in March.

With a price tag of around £4 million placed on him, Amrabat has allegedly been attracting attention from several Premier League clubs, including Watford, Stoke City and Crystal Palace.

If he were to sign for the Hornets, he would share a field for the first time with his elder sibling, who arrived at Vicarage Road himself from Malaga in January last year.

When asked about the prospect of playing alongside Nordin, Amrabat said: “That would be very nice, but we have not discussed it yet.

“Of course you are flattered when you get linked with a Premier League club. That’s a compliment and says I’m doing well. But there is still nothing concrete. I’m going only think about it when it is relevant.

“The Premier League is a competition where I could play. In terms of style of play it would fit well with me.

“Sure Germany and Spain are also beautiful. If you want to reach the top, and I want to, you should be able to play anywhere and against anyone.

“An intermediate step would be logical or even ideal, but I’m working with FC Utrecht. We want to win the play-offs and then I’ll look further.”
