Misfiring Watford striker Ighalo to join Tevez at Shanghai Shenhua

Odion Ighalo is expected to be on the move to China before too long.

The Daily Mirror reports that the Watford striker is the subject of a £200,000-a-week offer from Chinese Super League outfit Shanghai Shenhua.

It is understood that Shenhua, managed by Gus Poyet, want to team up Ighalo with marquee signing Carlos Tevez.

West Bromwich Albion were keen on the Nigerian recently but have since cooled their interest which has opened the door for Shenhua to revive their interest and reopen talks with Watford after pursuing the player last season.

Ighalo, 27, has failed to fire for the Hornets this season and Walter Mazzarri is ready to cash in for the Pozzos.
