Watford Marksman Ighalo linked with Chelsea move


English Premier League champions Chelsea are the latest team being linked with a move for Odion Ighalo in the summer transfer market.

Watford suits have repeatedly stated that the Super Eagles star is not for sale in the January transfer window but a departure from Vicarage Road at the end of this season remains a possibility.

The Daily Mirror has claimed that Chelsea are ready to battle it out with fellow Londoners for the signature of Ighalo.

A return to Spain or Italy has been mooted, with Atletico Madrid and AS Roma on the trail of the 26 – year – old, who has 13 goals to his name in the top-flight in the 2015-16 season.

Last September, the former Udinese and Granada man extended his contract with Watford for five years.
