“If you want to talk about Odion Ighalo, my career, my success, and my life and career, you can’t take Watford away from it. Without Watford FC I don’t think I would be where I am today,” he told Watford website.
“What I did at Watford in the first season in the Premier League, is what I am still enjoying today. People remember what I did in the Premier League, and I really enjoyed my time at Watford. I’m grateful for the club, the fans still love me and I love the fans.
