Quique Sanchez Flores not worried by Troy Deeney drought

Watford boss Quique Sanchez Flores is confident that Troy Deeney will soon end his wait for a Premier League goal.

Watford head coach Quique Sanchez Flores has stated that he is not concerned about Troy Deeney's lack of goals.

The Hornets captain netted 21 times to help the Hertfordshire outfit win promotion from the Championship last season, but he is yet to score in the Premier League this term.

Flores is confident that the goals will come for the 27-year-old once he has adjusted to top-flight football.

"The level of the opposition is very different," Flores told Sky Sports News. "He has scored lots of goals for us in other years. But the level of defenders and teams are different so we need a bit more from the players. They know that.

"I have no doubts over Troy. The Championship is different to the Premier League in terms of playing, the intensity and the quality.

"If Deeney wants to score 20 goals again it will be very difficult. But I don't have any obsession with any situation in the team. Deeney will score goals. He is a big player for us on the pitch."

Watford travel to Newcastle United on Saturday.
