Super Eagles striker, Odion Jude Ighalo
has joined the Chinese Super League
side, Changchun Yatai for £20m and is
set to become the highest paid Nigerian..


According to reports, Ighalo, will receive
nearly £200K weekly, that is almost
twice of John Mikel Obi’s £140K a

Ighalo confirmed the news via his
Twitter handle (@ighalojude) in a
message to his former team and its fans:

“A special thanks to Watford fans,
who I really hold dearly in my heart
because they supported me since the
very first day I came to this club to
the last day,”
“Even when things weren’t going well
for me, they were still there chanting
my name beside me. Though things
don’t always go the way you want in
life, you have to keep moving and
working hard.
“Some of them [Watford fans] were
not happy because the goals did not
come as they want. I can understand
them because I’ve done it in the past
and they want to see it again.
“I’m sorry for that and I’m sorry it
didn’t work out the way it should be
but I’m really happy to have been
associated with this Watford family
and wherever I go, to China or
wherever, I’m still going to hold the
fans dearly to my heart because they
have always been there for me.
“Thanks to Watford fans for the great
support, they will always be in my
heart wherever I go.”
