The Al Hilal of Saudi Arabia new signing was not allowed by former club Al Shabab to represent Nigeria at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon for what the club described as a late invitation for the player.
You can bet smart with Bwin and put your money where your mouth is: Ighalo is an ageless wine and his goals just could take the Eagles to the 2022 FIFA World Cup just as his goals were hugely responsible for Nigeria's qualification to the 2018 Africa Cup of Nations.
Before then, Ighalo will be hard pressed to impress his team in the Saudi Arabian topflight.
The Nigerian produced a great individual performance in the semifinal of the FIFA Club World Cup against Chelsea which his club lost 1-0.
In its match review of the game, world football governing body Fifa made a glowing remark about Ighalo's outing - a sweet praise for the striker which might just make some European clubs send their scouts on journeys to Saudi Arabia ahead of the summer transfer window.
"I just met with @ighalojude, the highest goalscorer at the 2019 edition of the AFCON, now playing and still scoring goals for Saudi Arabia’s biggest football club," Pinnick tweeted accompanied by a photograph of him and Ighalo.
"Odion has assured that playing for his country will always come first and he is ready to ensure that we do play at this year’s @FIFAWorldCup in Qatar," Pinnick further said.
Ighalo reversed his decision to quit international football last November and was included in the squad to face Liberia and Cape Verde in crucial World Cup qualifiers.
