Reports suggest that Watford striker Steven Kabba will be allowed to leave Vicarage Road in the summer after failing to impress boss Aidy Boothroyd since his January transfer window switch from Sheffield United.

The 26-year-old has failed to score in his eight appearances for the Hornets following his £500,000 transfer from Bramall Lane.

The Sheffield Star quoted a source as saying: "It's true. Steven looks likely to go.

"Apparently the club don't feel as if he's the type of forward they need.

"Steven's been informed that they thought he liked the ball played over the top to run on to whereas actually he prefers it played to his feet."

Kabba started his career at Crystal Palace but, after loan spells with Southend United, Luton Town and Grimsby Town, moved to Sheffield United for £250,000 in November 2002.

He scored 23 goals in 87 appearances for the Blades before moving to Watford two months ago.
