On 1 September 2015, Oularé signed for Premier League side Watford for an undisclosed fee rumored to be around £6 million on a five-year contract.[9] He made his debut for the club in an FA Cup tie against Newcastle United on 9 January 2016. He was substituted at half time.[10] He made his Premier League debut, against Swansea City in a 1–0 Watford defeat, coming on as a substitute for Valon Behrami in the 87th minute.
