According to the Sunday People, Manchester United are frontrunners to sign £20m-rated Watford striker Odion Ighalo. The Sunday Mirror has a story claiming the same today. The Watford scorer is also wanted by Arsenal and Chelsea reportedly. Ighalo would be a perfect fit for any of those three teams, as they all need to increase striker depth.
Just a few weeks ago, Ighalo told The Sun that he’d struggle to pass up an opportunity to move to Old Trafford…should the situation arise.
Ighalo was quoted: “There has been speculation from Spain and Italy but I’ve played there and now want to play in England. I don’t think I will be moving but I’m not sure I’d say no if United called.”
“They were my team growing up. I loved watching Andy Cole and Dwight Yorke on TV. They were my idols and playing at Old Trafford has always been a dream.”
