Watford boss Gianfranco Zola remains hopeful of keeping Troy Deeney.
West Ham United and Tottenham are chasing the prolific goal scorer.
Deeney is the Championship's leading scorer this season with five goals from just three games for Watford.
Zola said: "We don't want to lose him but we are a small team and if a big team come in it can be difficult."
