Watford No2 Craig Shakespeare says they're delighted with Will Hughes' progress.

Shakespeare said Hughes should have ambitions to represent his country in the near future.

“I thought he was outstanding again on Saturday (against Leicester City)," said the assistant coach.

“I think he's got potential to get even better and I know he got in the Derby team as a young player and now he's established himself as a fully-grown Premier League player that should have international ambitions.

“That's not to say that I'm putting pressure on his shoulders, no. I think it's one of them where I think he's that good. I think we're really pleased to have him in our team and again he's another one that is contributing to the team. We're very pleased with Will's contribution."
