The Watford big man is enjoying a successful season, hitting 11 goals in this years Championship. The Hornets are currently ten points off a play-off place so promotion looks unlikely. If Deeney wants to play Premier League football this is the sort of chance he must take. He came painfully close last year after his side lost in the play-off final to Cardiff and this year he won't get that same chance. He's certainly capable of making the step up. He gets a lot of goals and causes defences real problems due to his size. The Premier League is very physical but theres no denying that Deeney can take it. He even has an FA Cup goal against Manchester City on his CV, which shows he can beat the leagues top defences. Deeney will also be a cheaper option to most alternatives and everyone loves a bargain.
