Watford signing Valon Behrami believes he is a more complete player now than during his initial stint in the Premier League with West Ham United.
Swiss midfielder Behrami spent three seasons at the Hammers, where he earned a reputation for being an 'all-action' midfielder.
The 30-year-old has since had stints in Italy and Germany with Fiorentina, Napoli and Hamburg, which he believes helped develop his game and make him a more well-rounded footballer.
"I'm a different player to when in was at West Ham," Behrami said.
"I was quicker then. A box-to-box player. Now I'm better in different areas. I'm more of a holding midfield player.
"But sometimes my natural instinct comes out. I will need to control myself in some zones of the pitch and not commit any stupid fouls that lead to free-kicks.
"Because in the Premier League there are some very good free-kick takers."
