Odio Ighalo has signed a new five-year contract with Watford, bringing an end to questions about his future at the club.

Ighalo, 27, hit 17 goals for the newly-promoted Hornets last season to attract interest from the likes of Arsenal and West Bromwich Albion as well as a £38million offer from China’s Shanghai SIPG.

But Watford were resolute in holding off suitors for the Nigeria international as well as strike partner Troy Deeney.
