Super Eagles striker, Odion Ighalo has expressed delight on his goal during Watford’s 2-2 draw at home to FC Lorient in a pre-season friendly.

Ighalo who scored in the 58th minute while speaking to watfordfc.com said: “As a striker, goals breed confidence, and I always try to give my best.

“I’m happy to score, butmost importantly it’s about the team performance. We have new players and we are still trying to understand what the manager wants. We’ve put in enough work over pre-season, with new tactics. We can’t wait for the season to get started now so we can get moving.”

Also, former youth international and Ighalo’s compatriot, Isaac Success came on in the 27th minute for Craig Cathcart, and got substituted again in the 74th minute for Jerome Sinclair.

Meanwhile, West Brom are interested in signing Watford striker Odion Ighalo before the transfer window shuts, according to Sky sources.

The Baggies want to bring in a new striker before allowing Saido Berahino to leave the club and they tried to sign West Ham’s Diafra Sakho last week.

Ighalo, 27, signed for Watford from Udinese in July 2014 and scored 17 goals in 42 appearances in his first season in the Premier League.
