The on-loan defender of Ghanaian root is reveling in his side's victory against their league rivals in the English Second-Tier contest over the weekend
lrish-born Ghanaian youngster James Abankwah says Watford 2-0 win against Luton Town is a ''massive win'' for them, with their raucous fans told they deserve such a victory at the Vicarage Road over the league fixture on Sunday.
The 21-year-old, who joined the former Premier League outfit from Serie A side Udinese on a loan deal during the winter window, played a crucial role in securing the victory for his side after Nigerian midfielder Tom Dele-Bashiru and DR Congo enforcer Edo Kayembe scored before the half-time to hand the Hornets’ their deserved home win over the encounter.
''It’s a massive win,'' the ex-Charlton Athletic defender told the club's official website. ''It was important for the team and the fans to get this win, and we’ve done just that. Throughout the whole week I’ve been getting comments to win this game!. It was good, it was an intense game. “Especially in the first half, we controlled the game, and in the second half we tried to see it out. We did that and got the three points.''
He has so far figured in 8 league games for Watford in this ongoing 2024-25 English Championship football campaign.
Given his Ghanaian heritage, the Waterford-born stopper still remains eligible to play for Ghana Senior Men's National Team despite playing for the lreland national youth teams.
