Steve Bruce rules out Troy Deeney bid

By , Reporter
Steve Bruce insists that Hull City are not planning to make a bid for Watford striker Troy Deeney this summer.

Hull City manager Steve Bruce has ruled out making a bid for Watford striker Troy Deeney.

The 26-year old has been linked with a move away from the Hornets after scoring 24 goals in the Championship last season.

Bruce has admitted that he was interested in a possible deal for the striker in January, but has claimed that he is no longer one of Hull's transfer targets.

"It's not true, I can say this time it's definitely not true," Sky Sports News quotes Bruce as saying.

"We enquired about Troy Deeney on deadline day last year. Before we signed Shane Long and Nikica Jelavic, we had a little nibble then, but that's all it was. This year, no, not interested."

Deeney joined Watford from Walsall in August 2010.
