Published: July 01, 2013

Championship side Watford have officially announced the arrival of Nigerian youngster Uche Ikpeazu.

18 - year - old Ikpeazu, who is eligible to represent Nigeria despite being in possession of a British Passport, has penned a three - year deal with The Hornets.

''Watford’s the best club for me,'' Ikpeazu told watfordfc.com

''I watched them in the Play-Offs a lot and I thought that they’d suit my style of play. They do go long sometimes, but they tend to play short, and I’m looking forward to it.

''They’re giving me an opportunity and that’s always great.''

Uche Ikpeazu netted five hat-tricks last season - against Arsenal, Chelsea, Blackburn Rovers, QPR and Everton - for the Reading Under 18's.
