Newcastle United, Crystal Palace and now-relegated Fulham are said to be alongside the Hornets in eyeing Kakuta. Valued at €10m (£8.6m), the 29-year-old could leave Amiens SC this summer.
The report writes the Watford target could be on the move with a year remaining on his deal with the Ligue 2 club.
Kakuta has spent this season on loan away from the Hauts-de-France club.
With Ligue 1 side RC Lens, the attacker has netted 11 goals and provided five assists in 33 outings. He has featured in attacking midfield and out on the right-wing for Franck Haise’s side, helping them to 6th place.
