QUIQUE FLORES has shot down suggestions Troy Deeney or Odion Ighalo will leave Watford.
The prolific strike pair have scored 20 of Watford's 24 goals this season.
Deeney has been touted for a move to Arsenal while Ighalo - English football's most in-form frontman in 2015 - is believed to be wanted by Spanish side Atletico Madrid.
But Flores says it's "completely impossible" that the Vicarage Road favourites will be lured away this month
He said: "I think it's completely impossible they will leave. They have confidence in themselves and we win no hurry to leave Watford. That is very important.
"We are happy that clubs are interested in the players of Watford.
"It means the players are doing really well and the focus of other teams is on us and our work.
"We are talking about growing with the same group and add to the future. We don't want to move anyone on. Normally it's impossible when big clubs make offers, but there are exceptions."
Flores says skipper Deeney should only be focused on winning an England call up rather than a big-money move.
Flores added: "He is such an important player for us.
"Deeney won't abandon the project night middle of the season. After this season anything is possible.
"Maybe the next step for Deeney is not thinking about going to another team as the next step should be the national team."
Ex-Tottenham striker Emmanuel Adebayor has been linked with a January move to Watford.
But Flores has all but ruled out handing the Togo striker a Premier League return.
Flores added: "We need to believe in our protect and we need players who can believe in take project.
