Sarr: Watford's target is to secure Premier League promotion

Ismaila Sarr has revealed Watford's primary target is to secure promotion to the Premier League and winning the Championship title is secondary.

The 23-year-old helped the Hornets to extend their winning run to six games against Sheffield Wednesday on Friday.

The victory ensured they maintained their second place on the league table, with 78 points from 39 games, to reduce their gap with leaders Norwich City to six points.

Sarr, who used the international break to recover from a hamstring, has explained Watford’s target for the season.

“I don’t think about the title, because the main goal is to go up to the Premier League, so we’re focused on keeping on picking up three points,” Sarr, who has four assists and nine goals already this season, told the club website.
