Gerard Deulofeu is proud of the start Watford have made to the Premier League season.

The Hornets are in eighth position in the league, only a single point away from 6th place.

And the Spanish winger says the great start to the season also justifies his decision to sign permanently with the club in the summer.

"I had some doubts in the summer, but it's normal because I had some other offers. I chose Watford because it is the best option," he told Sky Sports News.

"I love the Premier League, I've been here on loan and feel comfortable. I feel really good with my team-mates. Now I am proud of signing here.

"When I signed I felt we could have a great season, it has started well so I am happy to be here.

"I want to play a regular season and play minutes, enjoying with my team. Sometimes you are in a big team and you didn't enjoy it like you can enjoy it here, that's why I'm here.

"I don't want to think in the future. First, this season, and after we will see."
