Nigerian Striker, Odion Ighalo Wants English Premier League Return by Lekzy360(op): 6:21am On Jan 11, 2019
Former Watford striker Odion Ighalo has revealed he wants to leave Chanchung Yatai and return to the English Premier League this month.

However, Chinese club Changchun Yatai, are willing to sell him unless they recoup the £20m they spent to sign him from Watford in January 2017.

Ighalo has scored 36 goals in 55 games for Chanchung Yatai.

Shortly after he signed with the Chinese club, Ighalo stated that his preference was with EPL.

Speaking to Skysports, he said at the time Crystal Palace and West Brom were interested, but the demands from Watford were too high.

The Nigerian is expected in the UK this week to discuss his future.

The Nigerian joined Watford in 2014 and scored 16 goals in 55 appearances in the Premier League for the Hornets, forming a successful partnership with Troy Deeney.

Everton should go for him ASAP and return Richarlison back to his favourite position.

Whoever advised him to leave the most watched and followed league in the world to go to China for a few extra quid obviously didn't do his career any favors.

Just like Ronaldo. I love these footballers that don't plait or have a dot of tattoo on their body.
It's hard seeing everyone doing it and you single yourself out.

Strictly on low cut

Those footballers are the bomb �

Not at all. Richarlison plays as a false 9 and his talent is better utilized when he plays from the flanks. Everton lacks a point man and Ighalo will fit in.

Okay, thanks for the info.
He only went to make money in China then, not for the game.
