Wayne Brown's hopes of making his move to Watford permanent have been given a boost by the Hornets' boss Gianluca Vialli.

Last week Vialli put five international players on the transfer list and now he says he's impressed with Brown's contribution.

The ex-Chelsea boss said of the Town man: "Wayne has impressed in the short time he has been here."

Brown has made it clear that he feels he needs to move from Portman Road if his career is to progress. Currently he is the sixth choice central defender at Portman Road.
