Watford striker Andre Gray has claimed to the Watford Observer that he doesn’t want his club to let go of Ismaila Sarr.
Andre Gray Wants Ismaila Sarr to Stay at Watford
Ismaila Sarr Shone in the Premier League
Starring in eight games for Watford so far this campaign, the 22-year-old already has four goal contributions to his name with three goals and one assist.
His form in the Premier League also caught the eye, with nine goal contributions in 28 games, but it wasn’t enough to save the Hornets from the drop.
It was enough though to pique the interest of several top teams, including Liverpool. However, the Senegal international has stayed on at the club and is hoping to fire them back into the top tier of English football.
‘Like Our Messi’
Now, his team-mate Andre Gray has spoken out about the player and claims that he is vital to the squad, even going so far as to claim that he is an essential piece of the promotion puzzle. The striker believes that if his side want any chance of promotion, they will have to hold onto him.
Gray said: “The proof’s in the pudding with Isma. He’s a beast, simple as that.
“He’ll win us more games than you can imagine. Even if he’s not scoring or assisting, if anyone watches games and understands football, they will understand the effect that he brings to the game.
“He’s a game winner, even when we’re not playing that well, he’s like our Messi. He is one of them players that you just give him the ball and just let him do what he’s doing.
“We’re gonna have a lot of problems with the club if if they let him go in January because of the effect that he has and if the club are really serious about getting promoted then he’s the person that we need.”
