TOP STORY: Ighalo could join Newcastle in January
Newcastle United’s reported shopping list grows longer as January nears, and Sky Sports believe Odion Ighalo is among the Magpies’ many targets.
The 32-year-old striker is currently playing in Saudi Arabia for Al Shabab after spells at both Watford and Manchester United, but it’s believed he would seriously consider a move to Tyneside if Newcastle were to make contact.
Newcastle has been linked with a number of stars including Ousmane Dembele and Joe Rodon, but it would seem that the club’s perilous league position is a cause for concern for some of their targets.
Ighalo is currently the joint top scorer in the Saudi professional league with nine goals after moving from Chinese side Shanghai Shenhua. Ighalo’s move to the Middle East also followed a loan spell at Manchester United, where he netted five times in 23 games. He also scored 40 goals in 100 appearances for the Hornets.
Ighalo’s contract expires in the summer of 2023.
