WATFORD can confirm that Super Eagles ace, Odion Ighalo has agreed a permanent move to Changchun Yatai.
The 27-year-old striker joins the Chinese Super League outfit after two-and-a-half years at Vicarage Road.
Ighalo scored 39 goals in 100 appearances during that time, including 20 as Watford secured promotion to the Premier League in 2014/15, and 17 during the club’s first campaign back in the top-flight.
The Nigerian international initially arrived on loan from Granada in July 2014, a move which was made permanent three months later.
A tweet posted by the club via its Twitter handle on Winter Transfer Deadline read: "All at Watford FC thank Odion for his contributions to the club, and wish him the best of luck for his future career."
