Success is Watford’s record signing after the Hornets splashed £12.5m on the 20-year-old from Granada.

The former Nigeria youth international has played in pre-season games for Watford but won’t be available for their opening league game at Southampton.

Watford’s coach Walter Mazzarri revealed that the forward is unfit due to a leg muscle problem he is currently nursing.

“Unfortunately, he (Success) is the only one from the weekend who has a problem.” he said in his pre-match conference,” Mazzarri said in his post-match conference when he was asked if Success will be involved in the game.

“Honestly, I have one or two doubts [about certain positions] but don’t ask me which.”

Another Nigerian in the club, Odion Ighalo will however be available for the game.
