On how he deals with girls that fling themselves at him in camp and on social media despite being married:
'I don't know how others deal with that, but for me i'm a happily married man, i don't know if girls fling themselves at other players, i don't Know. It's you that is saying it now, because me i don't know because i've not seen that before, i'm just hearing it.
'I'm a family man, i don't bring my family out, i'm a married man with 3 kids and i respect them. Me myself i hardly post on social media about myself talk more of my family. I'm happily married.'
On his goal drought from January following his rise in the EPL during his maiden season with Watford:
'There was really no reason behind my goal drought, as a striker you go through dry spells, so that was what happened, the second half of the season not only me but the team didn't perform well because we believed we were safe from relegation so we relaxed.
'The goals didn't come that much, although i had personal issues but i can't use that as an excuse. I'm proud to have scored 15 goals in my first season in the EPL, its a great achievement.'
