Watford have dismissed claims they accepted Reading’s final take-it-or-leave-it bid for Tommy Smith.

Reports today claimed the Hornets had accepted a new bid of around £1.5m for Smith after rejecting last week’s previous offer of £1.2m on Monday.

However, Watford are staying tight-lipped and refused to confirm they have received a new bid last night and insisted they were still considering the offer made by an “unnamed Championship club” last week.
