Nigeria Highest Paid Player Scores First Brace For Chinese Team

Super Eagles striker Odion Ighalo is enjoying a new lease of life at his Chinese club Changchun Yatai F.C.

Three days ago, the former Watford and Granada star scored on his debut as Changchun Yatai were held to a 3-3 draw by a South Korean team at their training camp.

Lee Jang-soo’s side have just finished another warm-up game and Ighalo bagged a brace in the 3-2 loss suffered by his team.

The 27-year-old and his teammates will participate in their last friendly on Monday, February 20, before returning to China ahead of their first game of the new season against Shanghai SIPG.

Nigeria’s best paid professional footballer penned a 4+1 year deal with Changchun Yatai in January.
