West Brom boss Tony Pulis says any possible bid for Watford striker Troy Deeney is not likely to succeed.

Watford counterpart Walter Mazzarri has dismissed reports of West Brom's interest.

Pulis said: "I don't think they'd want to sell him anyway.

"I've got a lot of time for Troy, he's come through the lower leagues and it's brilliant to see him in the Premier League. But he's a Watford player, and I'll show Watford respect.

"He didn't play on Saturday (a 1-0 win over Sunderland) and they won and played very well. He has been a big influence at that football club and he has been a talisman over the last few years."
