Watford manager Slaven Bilic has praised Samuel Kalu after the winger made a big impact in the side’s 1-0 win against Wigan Athletic last weekend.
Kalu replaced Ken Sema in the 68th minute of the encounter.
The Nigeria international has enjoyed a positive run since Bilic took charge at the Vicarage Road.
“He’s a player that has got more than something,” Bilic was quoted by the Watford Observer.
“He wasn’t fit when we arrived, he still isn’t fully fit, but he’s got something special: a change of pace, a change of direction, good on the ball. His first touch and movement are good, he strikes a ball well.
“He’s a very useful player and we are expecting a lot from him.”
The 25-year-old has made four league appearances for the Hornets this season.

Just like Onyekachi Apam, injury hasn’t been so kind to him
Good signs
Kalu was an automatic choice for the Super Eagles not long ago. Then came problems and injuries, and the falling profile of Bordeaux. The kidnap of his mother significantly affected him. But he’ll come back.
May God give u the strenght to bounce back. My favorite Nigeria playmaker, we miss you
If Kali, Iwobi n Mdidi had played that match against Ghana, we would by now be most likely preparing for the world cup. SE truly miss you Kalu. May Jehovah RAPHA have mercy on you n all deserving SE players to heal n keep you guys away from injuries. Amen
