​Watford are reportedly prepared to listen to offers for skipper Troy Deeney, where they are looking to collect at least £10m from his sale this summer. 

The 29-year-old struggled to replicate his impressive goal scoring record with Watford last term having scored just five league goals in 29 appearances, in what was a significant drop in return following four successive campaigns in double figures.

Despite being a fan favourite at Vicarage Road and having three-years remaining on his contract, the Hornets are prepared to let their leading man leave as they look to start a new era under boss Javi Gracia - as per the ​Daily Star

Deeney's campaign was marred by numerous suspensions which saw him sidelined for a total of seven league games and the Watford hierarchy are prepared to let the English striker leave after eight seasons at the club - should they receive offers in the region of £10m.

The 29-year-old is expected to be joined by Andre Gray as he makes his way to the exit door at Vicarage Road, as a revamp of the Hornets' forward line is expected to take place in the summer transfer window. 

Although Gray only joined the Hornets for a club record £18.5m last summer, the 26-year-old is being tipped for a second move in quick succession following just five goals in 31 appearances - with ​relegated Stoke the favourites to land the forward for around £15m.
