Watford quiet on in-demand goal ace Deeney

Watford boss Beppe Sannino is playing coy on the future of striker Troy Deeney.

The 26-year old goal machine is a target for Premier League returnees Leicester City and Burnley but Sannino refused to be drawn on whether or not he would lose his leading scorer in the current transfer window.

"I am head coach. Troy Deeney for me is a big player for Watford but this question is not for me," said the Italian.

"I am not manager, I am head coach and I am very happy to have Troy playing with me.

"But I also have Diego Fabbrini, Odion Ighalo and Matej Vydra and I am happy with them."

Since arriving at Vicarage Road from Walsall in 2010, Deeney has netted a total of 61 goals for the Hornets with 44 of them coming in the past two Championship seasons.
