Stoke, West Ham among scramble for Changchun Yatai striker Odion Ighalo

Stoke City are eyeing Changchun Yatai striker Odion Ighalo.

The Nigeria international only left Watford in January for the Chinese Premier League outfit.

The Sentinel says the 28-year-old could be on the move again back to England, where his family have stayed.

Stoke City are apparently one of four clubs interested, along with West Ham, Everton and Southampton. Crystal Palace and WBA had been interested last year but were put off by the financial demands.

Ighalo is also busy off the pitch launching an orphanage – the Ighalo Orphanage Home – back home in Nigeria. It will open its doors next month.
