The striker says he is reaping the benefit of the hardwork during the pre-season with Watford.

“I pushed myself hard during the pre-season after I scored 20 goals last season in the Championship and also because I know it will be more difficult in the Premier League,” Ighalo is quoted to say by Nations Newspaper.

“In the Championship, you have a lot more space to play with. This is not the case in the Premier League, where you are also up against more experienced defenders.
