Nigeria’s highest goalscorer in AFCON 2019 could return to the English Premier League in January. The Super Eagles forward is on the radar of his former employers Watford fc. The season has been quite rough for the Hornets.
They languish in the relegation zone and could be on their way out of the Premier League. A series of disappointing results have also put their manager under severe pressure.
It is a necessity for them to bring a matchwinner and inspiration to galvanise the team into the status they were previously known for.
Their recent loss against Southampton during the weekend was evidence that the team lacks the winning factor and a good finisher.
Albeit, other teams in the Premier League have shown interest in the 30-year-old like Everton, Westham, Crystal Palace, Southampton and Newcastle.
The energetic forward has been impressive in the Chinese Super League with Shanghai Shenhua which he joined in February 2019.
The Premier League witnessed Ighalo’s soccer talent when he scored a dazzling 39 goals in 99 appearances. He had the fighting spirit and zeal to perform excellently in every match.
