Ighalo
(L) scored 15 goals last season
|
The January football
transfer window closed several hours ago with several players changing
clubs.
Nigeria's
striker Odion Ighalo missed Watford's match against Arsenal last night to
seal a deal to Chinese Super League side Changchun Yatai for £20m.
He
becomes the latest English Premier League player to join the Chinese
league.
Ighalo,
27, joined the Hornets in 2014 from Italian side Udinese and helped
Watford win promotion to the Premier League in the 2014-15 campaign.
He
scored 15 top-flight goals in 2015-16, but has only one Premier League goal
this season and has gone 15 games without scoring in all competitions.
Watford's
2-1 away win last night moves them to 13th in the Premier League, 11 points
above the relegation zone.
During
his time with the Hornets, Ighalo played 100 times in all competitions and
scored 39 goals.
In the calendar year of 2015, he scored 30 goals in 38 games. He has netted six times since.
