Watford player, Emmanuel Dennis has come out to share the advice he got from Odion Ighalo after he joined the English club. He recently revealed that Ighalo told him that Watford is a good environment for any footballer.
According to him, Ighalo urged him to just focus on enjoying his football because that is all that matters in England.
Dennis added that he considers himself a big fan of Ighalo and he’ll always be an inspiration to him.
His words, “I’m a big fan of him. I watched him play here and score a lot of goals.”
“I played against him in the Europa League so I met him after the game, we spoke together, he’s an inspiration.”
“I spoke to him when I was here too, on FaceTime. He said: ‘I’m happy you’re here, you’re going to love it. The people are nice. Just play football, you’re going to enjoy yourself.’
“He’s like a big brother. He scored a lot of goals for Nigeria so I’m very happy I became his friend.”
“A lot of my friends are here, so it was really easy for me to accept and to come. I know that I’m really going to enjoy it.”
“I’ve played with [William] Troost-Ekong in the national team so we’re cool together, there’s a connection. Isaac [Success] is my guy. We’re friends, he’s a nice guy, we hang out, we laugh a lot.”
“It’s crazy, it’s like a dream. I’m really happy to be here. Growing up, going to watch the Premier League you have to pay, sit in a crowd of people and watch it. But now, I’m here and going to be playing in it.”
