Report: Burnley join race to sign Troy Deeney

Burnley are reportedly hoping to beat Leicester City to the signing of Troy Deeney.

Burnley have reportedly entered the running to sign Watford striker Troy Deeney this summer.

Deeney has been repeatedly linked with a move to Leicester City in the current window, with a £7.5m bid from the Foxes believed to have been rejected by Watford earlier this week.

According to the Daily Mail, Burnley have made signing Deeney their top priority as Sean Dyche looks to add attacking options to his squad ahead of the Premier League season.

The report claims that Watford would be willing to sell the 26-year-old, who was recently handed the captain's armband, but only if a club meets their £10m valuation of the forward.

Queens Park Rangers and Aston Villa are both rumoured to be monitoring Deeney's situation.
