Ighalo reluctant to move to China amid interest from Prem Lge club - sources

Watford striker Odion Ighalo is reluctant to move to Chinese club Changchun Yatai with an unnamed Premier League club keen on signing him, sources close to the player have told ESPN FC.

Watford have received an offer from Chinese Super League outfit Changchun Yatai for Ighalo and they are keen to sell the Nigerian forward for a mooted £20 million.

However, Ighalo has his reservations over moving to the Chinese club as they are not one of the strongest sides in the country's top flight.

The sources said that the unnamed Premier League club have expressed an interest in signing Ighalo on loan with a view to a permanent deal at the end of the season.
