Watford boss Quique Sanchez Flores is happy when there's transfer speculation over his players because it means they must be playing well, reports BBC Sport.

Leading scorer Odion Ighalo is set to return to the team after the FA Cup win against Leeds last weekend and he's one of the players continuously linked with other clubs - including Arsenal.

"Speculation about Ighalo is very normal. He is one of the best strikers in the division so it's very normal," said Flores.

"It's good. I love speculation for all the players in the squad. It means the performance of the team is good, every teams want players of Watford so we are doing something well and it's good news for our team."
