Ighalo Signs Permanent Watford Deal Until 2017

Odion Ighalo has made his loan move to Watford FC permanent.

The Nigerian international has signed a two-and-a-half-year deal with the ‘Hornets’ having impressed manager Slavisa Jokanovic.

Ighalo initially joined Watford on a season-long loan from Udinese in July. Watford swiftly moved to terminate his loan deal after the Italian side released him from his contract.
