Premier League side Watford have agreed a £20m fee with Chinese club, Changchun Yatai for striker Odion Ighalo.
Watford have been looking to offload Ighalo who has not impressed this season and has been out of the starting XI.
Ighalo scored 15 Premier League goals in the 2015/2016 season but his form nose-dived this season leading him to lose his place in the starting XI of the team.
Watford got several offers for the 27-year-old from several clubs including fellow Premier League side West Brom who pulled out of the move to sign him because of Watford’s asking price.
According to Sky Sports, Watford have now agreed a £20m fee with Chinese club, Changchun Yatai for the striker.
Ighalo will have to agree personal term and pass a medical before his move to Changchun Yatai can go through .
If the moves pull through, Ighalo will be the second Super Eagles player to move to China in the 2017 January transfer window following captain John Mikel Obi who signed for Tianjin TEDA.
A move to China has been on the table for Ighalo since January 2016 when a got an offer of £200,000 a week; a four-year contract from an undisclosed Chinese side.
He, however, rejected it to remain at Watford.
