Arsenal legend Wright big fan of Watford captain Deeney

Arsenal legend Ian Wright is a big fan of Watford captain Troy Deeney.

Wright is impressed by Deeney's partnership with Idion Ighalo.

“Troy's very unselfish in the way he gives his body up, he gives himself up for the team. He'll do anything he can to retain possession and get it back in play, get it into Ighalo. Quite a few of Ighalo's goals, Troy Deeney's had a hand in them. He's been integral to what's going on with Watford," he told the Watford.

“As much as if Ighalo got injured it's obviously going to be a massive blow, but Troy Deeney getting injured would be a real devastating blow for them. Hopefully they can stay fit because I think he's in the mould of the old fashioned centre forward. He just wants to make sure that he holds it up and keeps the play going because that's integral to Watford and the way they play."
