Leicester City have failed with a new bid for Watford striker Troy Deeney.

The Daily Mail says the Foxes have had a second bid of £7.5m rejected for Deeney.

The Foxes are hoping to boost their attacking options ahead of the start of the Premier League season, as they return to the top flight for the first time in a decade.

But Watford are reluctant to sell one of their prized assets and are holding out for a massive offer from Leicester.
