Super Eagles forward Samuel Kalu says, playing in the Premier League is one of his biggest dreams, after completing a move to Watford.
The 24-year-old Nigerian international sealed his move to the Hornets on Wednesday and becomes their third signing of the winter window.
Before joining Watford, Kalu has represented Slovakian side AS Trenčín and Belgian giants KAA Gent before his three-and-a-half-year spell with Bordeaux of France.
“When I heard about the opportunity I was feeling grateful,” said Kalu. “It’s one of my dreams to play in the Premier League, this is what I want. I will be here to give my best.”He told the club’s official website.
“I spoke to M’Baye Niang, he was my teammate in Bordeaux, he told me a lot about the Premier League and he was here before, he told me it’s a great club. He said the Premier League is the best league in the world, so I should grab my chance.
“[Slovakia, Belgium, and France] are all good leagues but I see the Premier League as more intense, powerful, I see it as the strongest league in the world.
Watford are currently in the relegation zone after winning just two in the last nine league games, so Kalu and other new players are expected to hit the ground running immediately.
The Nigerian said, he’s ready for the challenge:
“With my experience from the leagues I have played in, it’s quite similar with Ligue 1 and the Premier League. It’s amazing, every game is like a final, playing against the top clubs in the world.” He said.
