Samuel Kalu says he wants to achieve big things with Watford.
The Nigerian winger has officially switched from Bordeaux to Watford on a three-and-a-half year deal.
The Hornets reportedly paid £3m to sign the exciting 24-year-old.
Kalu told the club's website: "When I heard about the opportunity I was feeling grateful.
"It's one of my dreams to play in the Premier League, this is what I want. I will be here to give my best.
"I spoke to M'Baye Niang, he was my teammate in Bordeaux, he told me a lot about the Premier League and he was here before, he told me it's a great club. He said the Premier League is the best league in the world, so I should grab my chance.
"[Slovakia, Belgium and France] are all good leagues but I see the Premier League as more intense, powerful, I see it as the strongest league in the world.
"With my experience from the leagues I have played in, it's quite similar with Ligue 1 and the Premier League. It's amazing, every game is like a final, playing against the top clubs in the world."
He continued: "I want to achieve big things with this great club, I know there is a lot to give and I want to give my best.
"I've already seen the fixtures until the end of the season, with the quality of the players the team has I think we can do good things in the second half of the season."
