Super Eagles forward, Odion Ighalo, is closing in on a mega money move to China from Watford.
The 27-year-old has reportedly agreed a £20million switch to Chongchun Yatai.
According to multiple sources, Ighalo passed a medical on Tuesday with the Chinese side set to confirm the deal in the coming days.

Watford head coach, Walter Mazzarri, admitted Ighalo’s departure was imminent on Monday night, saying: “Every morning I ask the club what the situation is, and negotiations are now at an advanced stage, so it should only be a matter of a couple of days.”
Ighalo was top scorer across all four divisions in the calendar year 2015, when his 30 goals fired the Hornets to promotion and Premier League safety, in all but name, by Christmas.
