Watford attacker Dodi Lukebakio sets own transfer price

Watford attacker Dodi Lukebakio has set his own transfer valuation.

The Belgian, who spent last season on loan with Fortuna Dusseldorf, said he would be worth paying a substantial fee for, due to both his ambition and ability.

“Why would 20 million be too much for me?" he asked HLN.

"In today's football there are no limits anymore and I am very ambitious.

"If I see the numbers in football today, I don't think it's so much. There is no limit anymore. Why would that be a lot for me? I had a great season, thanks to Düsseldorf. I am very ambitious and I expect a lot from myself.

"My goal was to play a complete season, something that so far never worked. I achieved that. And I also wanted to score between ten and fifteen goals. That is not dreaming, is it? Without being arrogant, I know I can.

"I couldn't refuse such an offer [from Watford] but the Premier League, that is the highest level, in all areas and I didn't have enough experience in my legs to handle it."
