Odion Ighalo Watfordcolour
Nigerian international Odion Ighalo has revealed that he wakes up in the midnight to watch his former English Premier League team, Watford play.
“I had a great time with Watford, from the Championship to the Premier League. The fans still close to my heart, the players.
“Troy Deeney is a great guy, in and out of dressing room, a fighter, who chases every ball. It was a pleasure to play alongside him and my connection with him was exceptional.
“I wake up 3am in China to watch Watford play, they are great team with a great manager, they can only get better,” the Changchun Yatai of China striker told Sky Sports.
Ighalo, stated that he moved to China after West Brom’s interest in him came to nothing.
“I moved (to China) because that was what was best for me. West Brom did not meet Watford’s valuation but when the Chinese offered £20m, it was not bad cash for Watford.
“My second season in the Premier League was not that great, we had a new manager and new system, which meant I played on the left and sometimes on the right. It was difficult, everything was not going right and I did not find it easy.
“I didn’t want problem with my manager. It was difficult for me as I wanted to stay in the Premier League,” said Ighalo, who has been making the headlines since arrival in the Chinese Super League.
