Troy Deeney

According to The Independent, Manchester United have rejected a loan bid for Marouane Fellaini; whilst The Daily Star report that Arsenal want to sign Watford captain Troy Deeney.

The towering Red Devils midfielder, who measures in at 6 foot 5, has been issued just four Premier League starts by Louis van Gaal this season – finding himself stuck behind summer arrivals Morgan Schneiderlin and Bastian Schweinsteiger in the pecking order.

That has prompted Serie A giants AC Milan to launch a loan bid for the Belgium international, with the view to acquiring his services permanently during the summer. But their approach has been rejected by LVG according to The Independent, who views the 28-year-old as essential back-up to his shallow strikeforce of Wayne Rooney and Anthony Martial.

Meanwhile, The Daily Star claim Arsenal want to sign Watford captain Troy Deeney this month to boost their firepower for the second half of their Premier League title bid. The powerful striker has claimed six goals and five assists in 20 Premier League appearances this term and his potent partnership with Odion Ighalo has become one of the stories of the season.

Arsene Wenger is well aware the Hornets are incredibly unlikely to sell their skipper halfway through a top-flight survival campaign, but nonetheless, The Star speculate a bid around the £20million mark for the 27-year-old.
