Watford striker Troy Deeney admits he held talks over summer move

Watford striker Troy Deeney has admitted that he considered leaving the club during the summer transfer window.

The 32-year-old striker expressed his desire to play in the Premier League following Watford’s relegation to the Championship last season.

Deeney has now admitted that he held talks with various parties over a potential summer exit from Vicarage Road.

The veteran striker was heavily linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur during the summer transfer window.

Sky Sports reported last month that Spurs had identified Deeney as a potential back-up option for Harry Kane.
