Hungarian midfielder Daniel Tozser has lifted the lid on his exit from Watford in 2015.

Tozser initially joined the Hornets on loan from Genoa in January 2014 before making the move to Hertfordshire permanently. And although he played a big part in the club's promotion-winning campaign in 2014/15, he claims he was deemed surplus to requirements by the hierarchy and, like Gabriele Angella, never got the chance to play in the Premier League.

Explaining why he left Vicarage Road, the midfielder has played down suggestions that he joined Queens Park Rangers for monetary reasons.

He said: "It is very simple. I wanted to stay at Watford in 2015. I even had a chat with Quique Sanchez Flores who asked me to stay but the president had other ideas and for whatever reason he did not want to give me a contract.

"He didn't offer me anything so that was it. I left for QPR but like I said many times, in football you see a lot of strange and different things so nothing should surprise you. But that is the past now and I am over it.

"Watford was a fantastic time and I am really going to think only in a positive way about Watford even if I was forced out. But it is life.

"When I was at Genk we won the league after nearly ten years, the Belgian cup and the Supercup and we played in the Champions League. But Watford was also a really high point, especially the first year when we got promoted.

"That season (2014/15) I was also the one with the most appearances at the club. I am proud of what I have achieved with them and my Watford memories are great."
