Watford boss Malky Mackay knows they face losing goalkeeper Scott Loach.

The Sun says scouts of Spurs and Aston Villa plus a clutch of other Premier League clubs will return glowing reports on Loach's performance in defeat to Peterborough.

Mackay admitted: "Scott will move to a big club but I do not want to lose him yet.

"Another year here will do him a lot more good than sitting on a Premier League bench."
