Watford will still consider loan bids for Jerome Sinclair this month despite his goalscoring display in their FA Cup win over Burton Albion on Saturday.
Sinclair, 20, left Liverpool for the Hornets last summer but has struggled for game-time under Walter Mazzarri — playing just 115 Premier League minutes.
Brentford are keen on taking the young forward until the end of the season and his Cup goal is unlikely to put the stoppers on a move.
Manager Mazzarri believes he is nearing the light at the end of the tunnel of Watford’s 11-man injury crisis, meaning opportunities for Sinclair could soon be restricted again.
