Watford boss Quique Sanchez Flores thinks Ismalia Sarr is suited to play as a striker.

The Senegalese was deployed as a lone forward against Arsenal on Sunday, having previously been deployed primarily as a winger.

"I think the best quality of Sarr is of course his skill," Sanchez Flores said.

"The velocity is something very pure and very interesting for us. This kind of player is giving us a break in lines - you put one as a striker, a good striker with big velocity between defence and midfielders.

"He will run, separate the lines and find space. He's there really to run. He's very young, so it's very interesting when he's playing because at the start he was a little bit shy, but then little by little he was more relaxed, more confident and to see the progress was really good and good for him."
