Watford have slapped a £35MILLION price tag on Troy Deeney after being linked with moves to West Brom and Leicester City
The 28-year-old Hornet striker managed just ten goals this season in 40 games in all competitions as Watford finished 17th in the Premier League
WATFORD have slapped a whopping £35MILLION on star striker Troy Deeney who could be set to leave Vicarage Road in the summer.
West Brom and Leicester City are believed to be keen on a move for the 28-year-old, but will not pay the fee quoted by the London club.
According to the Daily Mail, the Hornet veteran has a release clause of £25million after sell-on percentages are taken into account.
Deeney is reported to be mulling up a move away from Watford after a disappointing season in the Premier League, and would be open to a move back to the Midlands to be closer to his family.
Baggies boss Tony Pulis is desperate to bolster his attack and has already held talks with the club's owners about improving their transfer and wage budget.
