Odion Jude Ighalo, former Manchester United striker, has given the nod to a permanent deal with Saudi Arabian club, Al-Shabab, according to a report by Sky Sports.

The player's move to Al-Shabab is subject to passing medical and agreeing personal terms.

His loan spell at Manchester United from Shanghai Shenhua came to an end on January 31, 2021.

Ighalo was due to return to his parent club Shanghai Shenhua, but they have given him permission to speak to Al-Shabab.

The transfer window in Saudi Arabia will be closed on February 7, 2021.

Ighalo netted five goals in 23 appearances in all competitions for Man United during his loan spells at Old Trafford.

The ex-super eagle star confirmed his departure from Man United in an emotional farewell message last week Tuesday.
