West Brom never offered enough to tempt Watford into selling captain and talisman Troy Deeney, sources have claimed.

Midlands-based Express and Star has claimed the 29-year-old forward met with Baggies representatives yesterday, but they could not thrash out a deal which was suitable for both parties.

However, sources in Hertfordshire have stated that despite contact between the two clubs, there was never a fee agreed or any formal talks held between Deeney and the Baggies.

But they were unwilling to spend upwards of £20 million on a striker who has already missed seven games through suspension this season, has little resale value at 29 and has scored only one goal in open play since last April.


In the end, West Brom plumped for Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge instead, and have since completed the loan of the England man.
