Watford midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure believes they can qualify for Europe this season.

After penning a new deal, Doucoure feels Watford's goals for the future are in line with his and he now has his sights set on Europe.

“I agreed to stay because I can reach more objectives with Watford. The club has the same ambition as me, so that is why I chose to stay here," he told the club website.

“We have big ambition, we have brought in new players like [Gerard] Deulofeu on a permanent deal, so the squad is improving and I want to improve as well.

“I think I can reach another level – maybe we can reach the Europa League or stay in the top 10, so that is why I chose to stay."
