Isaac Success is not going to Malaga, despite reports of interest from the Spanish club, and is unlikely to leave Watford at all during the transfer window.

The Watford Observer understands the Hornets want to give Javi Gracia a chance to run the rule over the Nigerian international, and their lack of options in wide areas even with their interest in Barcelona's Gerard Deulofeu means he has extra value to the squad.

Success has been out of action with a leg injury since September, a month after he made his one and only appearance of the season against Bristol City in the Carabao Cup.

He was an unused substitute for Watford's FA Cup exit at Southampton on Saturday, but that was his first appearance in the squad since the 2-1 defeat at Crystal Palace more than a month ago.
