New Watford signing Angelini hopes to learn from Foster

Vincent Angelini is eager to learn from senior goalkeeper Ben Foster at Watford.

The 17-year-old's move from Celtic was officially confirmed this week, with the shot-stopper joining the club's youth setup, where he will develop before hopefully pushing into the first team in the future.

On working with Foster, he told the club's website: "He has experience; where he's been is amazing.

“Getting the chance to train with him, I'll try to ask as many questions as I can, stay concentrated, look at what he's doing and see what I can take away from it."

During his time in Scotland, Angelini worked with former Liverpool and now Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers, someone who he believes helped to develop his possession-based style.

“I'd like to think I'm a shot-stopper, and very vocal," he said. “I think ever since Brendan Rodgers came into Celtic, I picked up on my feet quite a lot. I always liked to join in with outfielders in possession so I think playing with my feet is a big part of my game now."
