Watford will not consider offers for Troy Deeney.

The Mirror says Watford will reject any offers for club captain Troy Deeney from Newcastle, Everton and Swansea, who are all on the trail of the prolific striker.

Deeney scored 66 goals in his last three years in the Championship, and the Hornets have no intention of selling him - not least to preserve the contingent of home-grown players in the 25-man squad Watford must submit to the Premier League.

They rejected a £12 million bid from Leicester last summer, and Deeney's market value has soared again as the talisman who led unfancied Watford to promotion.
