Javi Gracia admits that he is "confident" Watford can push on and climb back up the Premier League table after strengthening across the field in January.

Watford manager Javi Gracia has insisted that he is "very happy" with the players he has available after strengthening in an array of positions during the transfer window.

The Hornets moved to bring in winger Gerard Deulofeu and Didier Ndong on loan in January, as well as recruiting Dodi Lukebakio and Pontus Dahlberg on permanent deals.

Gracia, appointed last month to halt Watford's alarming run of form since November, hopes that the new arrivals will bolster troublesome areas of the field as they attempt to find some momentum over the remainder of the campaign.

"Now the transfer window is closed I am very happy with the players now with me," he told reporters ahead of Monday's meeting with Chelsea. "We improve the level of players that we have and I hope the new players can help us improve the level of the team.

"Now we have three new players with Gerard Deulofeu, Lukebakio and Ndong, three players in three positions we need to improve and I'm confident they will give us good results with games."

Watford are 11th in the Premier League table following a run of one win in their last 12 games.
