Watford will continue to push Everton to pay compensation after the Toffees named Marco Silva as their new manager.

According to theWatford Observer, the Hornets believe Everton made an illegal attempt to lure Silva to Goodison Park last November and they've since filed an official complain to the Premier League.

Watford believe they're entitled to compensation despite Silva not being contracted with the club after he was sacked in January.

It is not clear what amount of compensation Watford are searching for, but the original offer in December by Everton was £9m.
