WATFORD -- Marco Silva refused to be drawn on reports that he wants to join Everton after his Watford side beat West Ham 2-0 on Sunday.
Everton are still seeking to fill the vacancy left by the sacking of Ronald Koeman last month, but Watford do not want to lose a manager they appointed only in the summer.
Earlier on Sunday it was reported that Watford would turn down a further approach at any price.
However, sources have suggested to ESPN FC that a £12 million tag has been placed on buying Silva out of his two-year contract -- a price Everton are unprepared to pay.
