The shock transfer of Samuel Kalu to Watford from Ligue 1 side Bordeaux has been hailed by the club as one of their smartest piece of business in a long while.

Kalu has struggled to match expectations since his big money move from Belgium side Gent three seasons ago with the club twice failing in their bid to move him on during previous transfer windows.

Deemed surplus to requirements and with his contract set to run out in two years time, the club were faced with the possibility of losing the 24 year old on a free transfer as they had no offer from any team willing to buy the winger.

Watford came in with a bid that the club wasted no time in accepting due to what a source as the club said is down to not knowing what to do with the Nigerian, who was bought with a huge amount and was expected to generate more when sold.

They however ended up selling him for £3m in a deal that has several add ons which will likely see the fee rise to £4m. So far Kalu is yet to made his competitive debut for the struggling English Premier League side due to an ankle injury.
