Watford News: Richarlison keen to hear from Chelsea, Arsenal; Deeney admits shrink chats

Watford striker Richarlison has hopes of a big club move this summer.

The Watford Observer says reports have stated conversations have already begun between the 20-year-old's representatives and Chelsea and Arsenal, but there has been no formal contact from either club.

Sources are in little doubt Richarlison, who currently earns a relatively small £20,000 a week, will leave Watford in the summer.

Meanwhile, Troy Deeney admits he's been speaking with a psychologist to control his on-field indiscipline.

He said: "Football is a tough test of your mental resolve. I have a chat each week with a sports psychologist and he gets to see that vulnerability that's within all professional sports people.

"It also saves my family, the Mrs in particular, from getting a full download every single day. Everyone will have their own way of separating home and work life.

"It's important to me because I'm the kind of person that likes to enjoy my football. I've got the best job in the world – but people have probably seen the serious side of me lately that likes to be winning and scoring.

"That's where I feel I'm getting back to right now. It can take me a while to build into a season sometimes. It's been true of previous years.

"But when I'm up and running, and I'm at full pace, I'm difficult to handle. There's a bit of arrogance in there at times."
