Watford captain Troy Deeney has revealed that the promoted club will sign a handful of players with Premier League experience for next season.

The Hornets are back in England's top flight after finishing second on the Championship table and there are already plans to put together a competitive squad.

Star striker and skipper Deeney insists that sentiment won't play a part in building a new squad as owner Gino Pozzo is determined to make a splash next season and beyond.

"Speaking to the owner I feel they will be bringing in some lads with Premier League experience. It is not going to be a case like Burnley's, where they have said 'we are going to stick with you lot'," Deeney told talkSPORT.

"Sentiment won't be held by our owner. He is very much 'you are in the Prem now so get the job done'.

"I think there will probably be four or five lads coming in with Premier League experience and then there are people like myself who are absolutely buzzing to be there."
