Troy Deeney will remain Watford's captain and will not be sold despite the signing of striker Andre Gray for a club record £18.5million.
Deeney, 29, has been linked with leaving Vicarage Road and had a rocky relationship with manager Walter Mazzarri last season.
Mazzarri's replacement Marco Silva has no plans to send Deeney packing and the Portuguese will not use the arrival of Gray to force him out the door.
