Watford manager Quique Sanchez Flores has praised Odion Ighalo after the striker scored both goals in the Hornets' 2-0 win over West Ham on Saturday.
The Nigerian, who found the back of the net on 20 occasions in the Championship last season, turned down the opportunity to leave Vicarage Road for for a lucrative deal in China this off-season, much to the delight of his manager.
"Ighalo took a very important decision to stay at Watford. It was a brilliant idea," Flores said.
"He is a wonderful man who stayed here because his future here at Watford is really big. He is already an important player for us."
