Success who currently plays for Spanish side Granada has been linked with a move to Watford, a club owned by the Pozzo family who also own Italian Serie A side Udinese.
“Success is a very good player, he has power, he has the physical characteristics to play in England, but he’s younger and we need to think about the future of this player, or if we have the possibility of this player in the future,” Flores said.
It would be recalled that compatriot Odion Ighalo has already made his statement in the EPl having moved to Watford from Granada in 2014 and Success has been linked with a direct move to feature for the Hornets should Ighalo be sold in the summer.
However, the Watford manager said he will remain positive his club could still hold on to the 14-goal Ighalo.
Meanwhile, Ighalo has suggested that his team’s achievements this season would have received more recognition but for the emergence of the Foxes.
“Leicester are flying now,” he told Goal. “If they were not doing what they are doing now, I think people would be talking more about Watford because we have really done great this season, too.

“We don’t want to stop, we want to keep doing well. Seeing Leicester be on the top of the league by five points is great for the league and shows that with hard work and dedication you can achieve what you want to achieve.”
The striker also said Leicester’s performances this season are an inspiration for his team.
