Watford are reluctant to see Pedro leave Vicarage Road this window and will reportedly hold out for a £30million fee with boss Rob Edwards describing Newcastle’s initial bid as ‘derisory’.

Edwards said: “The bid that has come in that's been talked about, it's not anywhere near the level that we'd expect it to be for him.”

Pedro, who netted an equaliser at St James’s Park in January, has featured in all four of Watford’s Championship games this season, scoring one goal.
