Norwich boss Hughton convinced they have star in Tettey

Norwich City boss Chris Hughton is convinced they have a star in Alex Tettey.

The midfielder struck the winner in their Capital One Cup triumph over Doncaster.

Hughton said: "I was really pleased for him and with his application. It was his first 90 minutes. The goal was a bonus. We knew he could break from midfield even though internationally he was a defensive player in midfield.

"But we knew he was an all-rounder. He is a high-energy player who can play a couple of roles in midfield. If you want him to do that holding role he can but with his energy he can also break forward."

Hughton believes Tettey will be a star in the Premier League.

"He has played at good levels," said Hughton. "He is an international player who played in the top league in France which is good quality. I have no doubts he is ready."
