West Brom bid £17million for Odion Ighalo

Watford striker, Odion Ighalo, has been linked with a £17million move to fellow Premier League strugglers, West Bromwich Albion.


According to reports, Tony Pulis is hoping to bolster his attack with the Super Eagles frontman.

Ighalo has endured a miserable season so far with the Hornets and has only scored twice in all competition this season, after netting 17 times last season.

Two weeks ago, the 27-year-old was rumoured to be close to joining compatriot John Obi Mikel, in the Chinese Super League.

Ighalo has long been linked with a big-money transfer to China and Watford rejected a £38million pounds bid for him from Shangai SIPG last year.

“Yes, it’s a possibility he could move to China,” a source disclosed to reporters at the time.

“There should be an update in this regard this week.”

Ighalo only signed a new five-year contract with ‘The Hornets’ last summer.

Nwankwo Kanu, Brown Ideye and Osaze Odemwingie are other Nigerian strikers who have played for West Brom in the past.
