Former Watford boss Roy Hodgson has specified Joao Pedro's strongest role amid serious interest from Newcastle United.
Watford have rejected an initial bid of £20million - much to the dismay of Pedro and his representatives. Newcastle have also been mystified by Watford's reluctance to accept considering the Hornets accepted a similar bid for Emmanuel Dennis to join Nottingham Forest last week.
Hodgson returned to management after an eight-month absence but collected just two wins from 18 games at Vicarage Road. Watford were relegated in what appears to be his final season in management, but despite his side's struggles, Hodgson was impressed by Pedro.
