Ighalo snubs Man Utd, names club that gave high point of his career

Former Super Eagles striker, Odion Ighalo, has picked his time in China with Changchun Yatai, as the high point of his career.

Ighalo joined Yatai from Watford in a transfer worth around £20million.

At the time, it was the biggest deal for the two clubs.

During his two-and-a-half-year stint in China, the 32-year-old scored 46 goals in 72 appearances in the Chinese Super League and also won the Chinese FA Cup in 2019.

“Well, I will say when I signed my deal with China. It was a good contract. And I was pleased with it.

“I was bought from Watford to Changchun Yatai for £20 million and it was a huge transfer and the biggest transfer in the history of both clubs.

“I went there and played for two years. I did so well with the team. I played about 50 or 52 games with 36 goals.

“It was one of the best moments in my career life,” Ighalo, who spent a year on loan at Manchester United, told This Day Style when asked what the high point of his career was.
