Allnigeriasoccer.com understands Watford want a minimum of 17 million pounds from English Premier League clubs interested in the signature of Odion Ighalo in the January transfer window.

The Nigeria international’s proposed move to West Brom is on the brink of collapse because the Baggies offered only £12m, the money they got from the sale of Berahino to Stoke City,  and that figure was deemed insufficient by Hornets suits.

In the last few hours, Chinese Super League teams have approached Watford over the availability of the Super Eagles hitman, and they were told he will cost more than £17 million.

According to Ighalo’s camp, the probability of the striker departing Vicarage Road before the close of the transfer window next week is high, put at seventy percent.

A decision on his future could be made before Sunday, January 29.
