Exclusive: China-Bound Ighalo To Miss Millwall Clash, Agent Jets Into London Sunday For Transfer Talks

According to information gathered by allnigeriasoccer.com, there are indications that Odion Ighalo will end his close to three-year association with Watford before the close of the transfer window.

Last weekend, manager Walter Mazzarri gave the fans a hint that a transfer is in the offing for his number 24 when he introduced him for the last two minutes of the 2-2 draw with Bournemouth.

Though the Super Eagles star is in tip-top condition, he will not be selected for Sunday afternoon’s FA Cup tie with Millwall, an approach used by managers to avoid players picking up unfortunate injuries before completing a transfer.

On Sunday, Ighalo’s Norwegian-based intermediary Atta Aneke will make the 716-mile trip from Oslo to London for final negotiations with Watford over the transfer of his client to a Chinese Super League team.
