West Ham are weighing up a shock January move for Troy Deeney say reports in the Daily Mirror.
The tabloid claims Hammers have Watford skipper Deeney in their sights as they renew their attempts to land a big-money striker. They point out that the Hammers tried and failed to secure one during the summer window despite being putting aside £30m to spend on one of their frontman targets. But say the Irons will try again in the new year and Deeney, 28, is one of the names on their list. Mirror Sport understands enquiries have been made into Deeney’s availability in January claim the paper.
Deeney scored 13 goals last season and had a £20m bid from Leciester CIty turned down in the Summer with rumours that Watford have slapped a £30m valuation on him. Tory has scored 3 goals from 11 league appearances this season including one against West Ham in the 4-2 defeat at home.
Deeney was offered big money to move to Leicester the premier league champions and he turned it down, although he would be a great signing for us I can’t see it happening. I read this story elsewhere and there was a poll saying do you think Deeney will leave Watford the answer was 100% no when I voted on it and it had been up a while I think.
3 goals from 11 appearances….
