The 20-year-old forward has been in fine form since joining the Hornets from Fluminense in the summer, claiming five goals and three assists in 14 Premier League appearances.

That has led to interest from Spurs and Chelsea, claims the London Evening Standard, but chief executive Scott Duxbury has insisted Richarlison will be at Vicarage Road "for many more seasons."

As with Watford's hardline stance over Everton's move for manager Marco Silva, it appears they won't be enticed into selling -- but that could still change at the end of the season.
