Watford Manager Marco Silva Dismisses Transfer Speculation, Encourages Isaac Success to Strive for First-Team Return

In a resolute response to recent speculations surrounding the future of Nigerian striker Isaac Success, Watford manager Marco Silva has categorically dispelled any notions of the young talent leaving the club during the upcoming January transfer window. Success, who has yet to feature for the Hornets in the Premier League this season, has been the subject of transfer rumors, prompting Silva to set the record straight.

Addressing the issue with unwavering assurance, Silva emphasized to Hertfordshire Mercury that he has not engaged in discussions with any party concerning Success’ tenure at Watford. The Portuguese tactician expressed his unequivocal commitment to the player’s resurgence, especially in the wake of his recent return to training after a two-month hiatus due to a knee injury.

“I haven’t spoken with anybody about the Isaac situation, and I do not welcome this news,” Silva asserted to Hertfordshire Mercury, underscoring his dedication to nurturing Success’s potential within the squad. Emphasizing the pivotal juncture in Success’s career, Silva urged the 21-year-old forward to channel his energies into rigorous training, paving the way for a coveted spot in the starting lineup.

Success, who secured a £12.5m move to Watford last year in a then-club-record transfer, has played 20 games and netted one goal. As Silva firmly rebuffs transfer speculation, all eyes are on Success as he endeavors to reclaim his position within the first-team fold.
