Watford confirm young rejected transfer

Watford have confirmed that Ashley Young rejected a proposed move to another Barclays Premiership club.

The Hornets revealed they accepted an undisclosed bid for their star forward over the weekend – believed to be an offer worth up to £9.65m (€14.6m) from West Ham.

Chairman Graham Simpson told the club’s official website, www,watfordfc.co.uk: “We have stated many times over that we have no need or desire to sell Ashley Young, or any of our players for that matter.

“However, having given due consideration to all of the factors, I felt that this offer was right for the club.”
