Watford midfielder Will Hughes is excited to be playing for manager Marco Silva.

For Hughes, working under the former Hull City and Sporting Lisbon boss, who has a reputation for his hands on approach to coaching, was incentive enough to depart Derby – a club he joined 10 years ago but one which no longer matched his game.

“He was a massive draw. Playing for a manager who suits your style as a player is a great thing and goes under the radar a bit," he explained.

“I wasn't suited to the to the style that Derby were trying to play, so to make the step up and have someone like him to work under, I am going to learn a lot."

“I have already learned a lot in a short space of time and I can't wait to see how I improve over the next few years."
