Wycombe Wanderers had a loan bid to sign goalkeeper Richard Lee flatly rejected by Watford.

The Chairboys enquired about the availability of Lee, who has only made two Carling Cup appearances this season, but it is understood the Hornets rebuffed the approach immediately.

Wanderers boss Gary Waddock eventually landed former England Under-21 goalkeeper Tom Heaton on loan from Manchester United until the end of the season.

Lee is one of a number of Hornets’ players out of contract in the summer.
