Odion Ighalo Set To Join Saudi-Arabian Club


Former Super Eagles Striker Odion Jude Ighalo is reportedly set to join Saudi-Arabia Club, Al-Shabab. 


Sources close to the former Watford and Udinese Striker confirmed to Sportsgignews.com that although not yet finalised, a move to Al-Shabab is "very close".

 


Ighalo, 31, scored five goals in 23 appearances across all competitions for United after arriving on Deadline Day last January, but made only two starts this season since Edinson Cavani joined in October.



He also wrote his name on the hall of fame at Old Trafford after becoming only the second player in the history of the club to score in each of his first four competitive starts for the Red Devils..
