| Deeney |
Leicester
have offered £15million plus add-ons for Deeney, who performed impressively for
Watford last season with 15 goals in all competitions.
Troy Deeney wants to join Leicester after seeing a
£20million bid rejected from the champions. But the Watford striker is caught
in the middle of a transfer battle with the Hornets insisting he is not for
sale.
Watford are prepared to dig their heels in as
they feel they have stood have stood by the 27-year-old marksman - even after
he was sent to prison four years ago.
He now wants to play Champions
League football under Claudio
Ranieri, but Watford feel that with four years left on his contract they are
under no pressure to sell. They have also handed Deeney new contracts in each of
the last three seasons.
The
club would have to pay Deeney’s former club Walsall 25 per cent over any fee
above £500,000 and as such are not willing to sacrifice a player that they feel
has improved for them every year since his arrival in 2010.
Leicester
are battling to hold on to England striker Jamie Vardy as Arsenal have
triggered his £22m sell-on clause.
