Welcome, Odion! 🔴
Ighalo is due to fly to the UK from China, where he has played for the last three years, over the weekend.
He scored 16 goals in 55 Premier League appearances for Watford before leaving for China and will provide short-term cover for the injured England international Marcus Rashford.
