Deeney had his least successful season in the Premier League in the last campaign, scoring just five goals - compared to 10 and 13 in previous terms.

The 29-year-old is a hugely popular figure at Vicarage Road but it is understood club bosses are prepared to let him go after eight seasons at the club.

Deeney still has three years left on his Watford contract and the club are likely to be looking for at least £10m for his services.

He has often proven an outspoken figure at Watford and caused a massive stir last season when he claimed Arsenal lacked ‘cojones’ after the Gunners were beaten 2-1 at Vicarage Road.

Under boss Javi Garcia Watford plan a revamp of their forward line with Andre Gray also looking set to leave.

Gray, 26, managed just five goals in 31 Premier League appearances last season after arriving from Burnley for a club record £18.5m.

Relegated Stoke are favourites to sign him for around £15m.
