Will Hughes says the chance to play in the Premier League proved too difficult to resist when he decided to sign for Watford.

Hughes became the Hornets' first summer signing when he joined from Derby County on Saturday, and the midfielder, who is playing for England in the UEFA Under-21 European Championships, is looking forward to testing himself in the top flight.

"I've played against Watford many a time in the Championship and I've always enjoyed it," he told watfordfc.com.

"I'm looking forward to a new challenge now, especially in the Premier League." 

 Hughes also reveals which players at Derby gave him advice as to life at Watford.
