The Hornets would reject 'silly money' as Premier League

Watford will resist any offers for hotshot Odion Ighalo next month.

The striker has been sensational for Quique Sanchez Flores' surprise package, scoring 10 times this season.

And the new mega-money television deals coming into play next year mean Watford will reject all advances, regardless of figures laid on the table.

Ighalo turned down a £10million move with extortionate wages to Chinese side Hebei Fortune last summer before penning a five-year deal at Vicarage Road.

Watford want to keep the 26-year-old alongside Troy Deeney as Flores looks to build on an encouraging start to their Premier League comeback. Watford are seventh going into Sunday's clash against Liverpool.

A club source said: 'You just need to do the sums. Even an offer of silly money would be nowhere near what the club would get for staying up.'
