EPL side Watford have shown Nigeria youngster Uche Ikpeazu the exit door as he was released into the labour market.

The 21-year-old striker did not survive the purge as he did not impressed the technical crew enough to earn a place in the team ahead of next season.

He has played on loan at Crewe Alexandra, Doncaster Rovers, Port Vale and Blackpool in his two-year stay at Watford.

His best season was in first half of 2015/2016 season, when he scored five goals in 21 games for Port Vale.

Meanwhile Odion Ighalo, Adeyemo Ola, Ogo Obi and Ikechi Anya were on the retained players list.
