Watford striker Success admits tough times under Silva

Watford striker Isaac Success admits working with Everton boss Marco Silva last season had him questioning himself.

Success opened up on his past struggles before last night's 2-2 draw at Goodison Park.

“I won't lie I was having difficulties and I thought English football wasn't for me," Success told the Daily Mail.

“The coach didn't really believe in me. I wasn't fit enough. I wasn't ready physically or mentally. Coming back from injury and all, I was frustrated. All the other players were really sharp and doing well.

“It was difficult to get my chance and I wanted games to lose some weight and get back all I'd lost. My career stood still. Being alone, not feeling my future was safe, that worried me. Mentally I wasn't OK."
