Watford considered a deal for Josh Maja this summer but were deterred by his wage demands, according to Sky Sports' Anthony Joseph.

Nigerian international Josh Maja is a free agent after failing to agree a new contract with West Brom. Watford, Stoke City, and Bristol City are among the Championship sides who could be interested in the 27-year-old. Watford need to sign an experienced forward to replace last season's top scorer, Luca Kjerrumgaard.
