West Ham Prepare £20M Bid for Watford’s Ighalo

West Ham United are ready to test Watford’s resolve with a £20 million bid for striker Odion Ighalo.

The 26-year-old has been in red hot form this season, notching an impressive 13 goals already this season and taking the English top flight by storm.

But the Hammers’ worrying first half display to Newcastle at the weekend in a 2-1 loss has prompted Slaven Bilic to look for a new striker.

Following Saturday’s Shelvey show, the Hammers are keen on adding Ighalo to their squad, funding a move for the Nigerian by selling Nikica Jelavic.

Despite Quique Sanchez Flores’ determination to hold onto both Ighalo and Troy Deeney, a £20 million offer could tempt the former Atletico Madrid to cash in on one of his prized assets.
