Odion Ighalo was presented with opportunities to remain in the Premier League last season but he turned them down.

West Brom and West Ham wanted the former Man United striker after his deal expired with the Old Trafford outfit in January 2021

The 2019 AFCON golden boot winner decided to move to Saudi Arabia and join Al Shabab until 2023.

Nigerian striker Odion Ighalo has revealed that he got incredible offers from West Ham United and West Bromwich Albion after parting ways with Manchester United earlier this year.

But, the former Super Eagles striker chose to join Saudi Arabia's top-flight outfit Al Shabab on a two-and-a-half-year contract worth €2.50 million.

The two clubs were ready to break the bank just to keep him in the English elite league but the forward turned the opportunities down.
