Watford to discuss possibility of increased Leicester bid for Deeney

Watford will reportedly talk about the possibility of Troy Deeney leaving the club for Leicester City.

The Daily Mail is suggesting that the Hornets will sit down to discuss the prospect of a renewed offer from the Foxes for the 27-year-old striker.

The Premier League champions have already offered £25million for the Watford skipper but may need to up their proposal to £30m if the Hertfordshire outfit are to take them seriously.

It is understood that an improved bid could prompt Watford to offload Deeney but they are worried about the 20% sell-on fee they owe his former club Walsall if the Birmingham-born forward is to leave Vicarage Road.
