Watford hero Troy Deeney: I'd like new deal

Troy Deeney is ready to discuss a new deal after helping fire Watford into the FA Cup final.

Deeney's penalty took the game into extra-time before Gerard Deulofeu's winner saw them defeat Wolves 3-2.

The captain said, "I just told myself to calm down. I've been practicing penalties for years but with this emotion you can't really recreate the training pitch. So I took myself away, calmed down and got myself back in that training pitch mode. I thought he (Ruddy) was going to stand so I just hit it as hard as I could.

"There is no ceiling on this squad. These young boys coming up and keeping me on my toes. If anybody is watching I'd like a new deal thanks very much."
