West Brom set to launch summer raid for Watford skipper Troy Deeney
Hornets striker snubbed Premier League champions Leicester City to sign new long-term deal at Vicarage Road last summer but Baggies will push for Deeney to help solve goal scoring crisis
WEST BROM are set to launch a summer bid for Watford skipper Troy Deeney.
SunSports understands Baggies boss Tony Pulis is keen to add more guile to his strike force next season, and has identified the Hornets striker as his main target.
The loss of Saido Berahino to Stoke in January, left West Brom short of attacking options for the second half of the season.
Birmingham-born Deeney signed a new contract last summer at Vicarage Road, amid strong interest from Leicester City.
West Brom could seriously test Watford's resolve with a bid in excess of £20million for Deeney, who has hit 10 Premier League goals this term.
Pulis is a fan of Deeney's flexibility, the Brummie can operate as a main striker or in the deeper number 10 role.
Despite enjoying an excellent season, the Baggies lack of goals will be a concern for Pulis looking ahead to next season.
His main forwards Saloman Rondon and Hal-Robson Kanu have notched just nine Premier League goals between them.
