Nigeria national-teamer Odion Ighalo has opened up on the situation of his former teammate at Watford Isaac Success.

The Hornets number ten was in the news for all the wrong reasons last month following a disagreement with scarlet women and has yet to play a single game in the Premier League this term due to injury and loss of form.

'''Football is beyond playing on the pitch alone. There is a lifestyle you live and things you do that go together with football,'' Ighalo told LagosTalks913, according to Soccer Assembly.

''He is a young boy , Who just played his first season in Spain and he did so well and then came to Watford

''If you can’t control yourself or have people around you to keep you grounded its difficult.''

As first reported by allnigeriasoccer.com, Ighalo has confirmed that he shares the same agent as Isaac Success.

It is understood that Watford signed Success as replacement for Ighalo but the former Golden Eaglets sensation has failed to step into the shoes of the Super Eagles number nine since his arrival at the Vic.
