Watford boss Adrian Boothroyd has warned off potential bidders for Marlon King, maintaining that the striker is going nowhere.

The 27-year-old is a reported target for Derby County, but Boothroyd is adamant that King is a key figure at Vicarage Road.

He told the club's official website: "If we get into the Premier League, we get £60million, so unless someone's got £60million Marlon isn't going anywhere. Simple as that.

"As long as I am here, he is here. He will stay. All these reports are just speculation.

"He stays. He is part of the core of the team who won promotion in 2006.

"He missed out last year in the Premier League, but he is going to get us back there.

"He is a key part of my plans, so a move isn't going to happen. He is staying."
