Deeney in demand

A host of Premier League clubs are ready to pounce for Watford forward Troy Deeney, according to the Mail Online.

The Birmingham-born striker is in demand after reaching double figures for the second top flight season in succession.

However, the Hornets are holding out for around £35m for their captain, who joined them from Walsall in the summer of 2010.

West Bromwich Albion are closely monitoring the situation while Everton and Leicester City are also interested in securing his services.

In total, he has racked up three hundred and three appearances in all competitions, scoring one hundred and six goals while he was part of the squad that achieved promotion to the Premier League via the play-offs two years ago.

Having twice rejected advances from Jamaica, the twenty-eight year old still harbours an ambition of playing for England though is yet to represent them at any level.
