Orion Ighalo has said he is not perturbed about his inability to score goals for his English Premier League side, Watford FC.
The 27-year-old Nigerian is yet to score in the Premier League this season and has managed just four goals in his last 21 games for the club.
Ighalo did find the net in the EFL Cup defeat against Gillingham and is confident the goals will start to come.
“Three games and no goal, I am not bothered because I will go step by step and I know the goals will soon start flowing again,” he said ahead of Saturday’s game against West Ham at the London Stadium.
“Now in the Premier League it is more difficult because they know me very well and every defender wants to mark me really hard, more than what they did last season.”
Ighalo turned down a move to the Chinese Super League over the summer to sign a new five-year contract with Watford.
He said he is not currently thinking about a move to China but admits it is something that may interest him in the future.
“Week in, week out, my mum and my siblings watch me in action.
“This is the best league in the world and I hope to keep giving my best every week there.”
