Will Hughes is determined to prove himself at Watford.

The midfielder was signed earlier this summer from Derby County.

"I am massively excited, it's a relief as well because it has been spoken about for quite a few years now, for me to step up to the Premier League," Hughes told the Watford Observer.

“Unfortunately it wasn't with Derby and I have a chance with Watford, so hopefully I can take that chance.

“It has been a long time coming. I was close with Derby but we didn't quite make it and I felt like my time was up there.

“To have the opportunity to play in the Premier League, I am really looking forward to it."
