Watford 'not interested in Troy Deeney sale'

Watford are reportedly not interested in selling club captain Troy Deeney in this summer's transfer window.

Deeney, 30, has scored over 100 goals during his time at Watford - including 28 in the Premier League since the Hornets returned to the top flight for the 2015-16 campaign.

Earlier this summer, it was claimed that Watford would be prepared to sell the centre-forward ahead of the new season, and Cardiff City have since been linked with a move.

However, according to Sky Sports News, Deeney is still seen as a key player at Vicarage Road, and the club's head coach Javi Gracia is not prepared to sell him in this summer's transfer window.

Watford will begin their 2018-19 Premier League campaign at home to Brighton & Hove Albion on August 11.
