Troy Deeney is happy at Watford and is unlikely to be sold next month, manager Marco Silva has said.

Captain Deeney, 29, returned to Watford's starting line-up in the 1-1 draw with Tottenham last weekend after scoring from the bench at Manchester United in his first match back following a three-game suspension.

But Deeney's start against Spurs was only his fourth for the Hornets in the Premier League this season after failing to land a regular place under new boss Silva.

Deeney has been linked with a move away from Vicarage Road when the transfer window opens next month - with new Everton manager Sam Allardyce reported to be among his pursuers - but Silva insists the club have no interest in moving their skipper on.
