Former Watford and Manchester United striker Ighalo agrees move to Al Wehda 

Saudi Arabian Pro League club Al Wehda are on the brink of announcing the capture of Super Eagles striker Odion Ighalo.

According to Sky Sports, the former Watford and Manchester United star has agreed a two-year deal with Al Wehda, and he is set to have a medical with The Red Giant in the coming days.

Ighalo's other clubs include Lyn, Udinese, Granada, Cesena, Changchun Yatai, Shanghai Shenhua, Prime and Julius Berger.
