Striker Marlon King has vowed to stay with Watford and help them and himself earn a second chance to impress in the Premiership.
The 26-year-old has been restricted to just 11 appearances for the Hornets this season due to a serious knee injury, but has still been linked with several other Premiership clubs.
King said: "It was just disappointing not to have had the chance this season, but I am sure I will get another one.
"I was starting to find my feet and then the chance was taken away from me by the injury.
"I have not asked to leave. I have enjoyed my time here, and I have two years left. Where am I going to go?
"The only thing I am interested in is regaining my sharpness and doing well for Watford. I am contracted for the next two years, so things are out of my hands.
"Playing in the Championship again? It is something which has to be done.
"It is always nice to have speculation around your name, but I had that before I returned from injury. My focus is on getting fit and doing my best for Watford."
Last season King 22 goals as the Hornets were promoted via the Championship play-offs.
