Former Super Eagles striker and 2019 African Cup of Nations Highest Goal Scorer, Odion Jude Ighalo, has moved to the Saudi Arabian Clubside, Al-Shabab Football Club in the Saudi Arabia top Division.
The former Manchester United Football Club of England forward joined the Arabian Clubside in a Two and Half Year deal.
Chinese Super League Club Side, Shanghai Shenhua Football Club allowed the Nigerian to move to the Middle East Gulf Country to start a new life after completing his One Year loan spell with the Red Devils of Manchester.
Ighalo was acquired by the Saudi Arabian Clubside to boost their performance in the League and also contend for the League with the likes of Al-Ittihad, Al-Nassr and Al Hilal Football Clubs who are its rivals.
It would be recalled that last season, Super Eagles Captain, Ahmed Musa and John Ogu played for Al-Nassr Football Club in the League and also featured in the Asian Champions League before parting ways with the Club on mutual agreement.
The hope of Al-Shabab Football Club rests on the lethal striker to bring his wealth of experience into play for his new Club, having played in Europe top Leagues.
Ighalo has played in the Spanish La Liga with Granada Football Club and the Barclays English Premier League with Manchester United and Watford Football Club.
