Watford full-back Adam Masina is determined to be a first-choice this season.

After making 14 appearances in all competitions last season, the Italy Under-21 international is feeling positive about his chances, but knows he has some work to do first.

“I'm feeling better but I am not at the top yet," he told the Watford Observer.

“We all have a lot of work to do to make a better performance. We are working in the same way as last season pre-season but I am confident we can make a better season.

“My aim is to play more. The coach knows this and knows my opinion and I will do everything to play more.

"I played some games last season but this season I want to play more. Holebas is a very good player but this is my aim."
