Ighalo Rejoins Chinese Side, Changchum Yatai

Super Eagles striker​,​ Odion Ighalo, has rejoined his Chinese Super League  (CSL ) club, Changchun Yatai for pre-season ahead of the new season which kicks off in March.

Ighalo’s arrival quashes, for now, any transfer reports linking him with a move away from the club during the January transfer window.

 

The 28 year old scored 15 goals in 27 appearances in his debut season with seven assists for Changchun Yatai who finished in seventh position ​in the CSL ​last season.

 

Ighalo posted a picture of himself running and undergoing some exercise with his fitness trainer, with a message beneath it on his official Twitter handle.

“Pre-season mode activated,”Ighalo tweeted.

Changchun Yatai will kick off their season in the CSL with a home fixture against Beijing Renhe.

Ighalo recently helped the Super Eagles qualify for a sixth FIFA World Cup appearance, scoring one goal in three appearances for Nigeria in the African qualifiers.
