Watford ace Ighalo high on Chelsea transfer agenda

Odion Ighalo will be the subject of strong interest from Chelsea in the summer transfer window, according to reports.

The Nigerian striker has emerged on the radar of a number of clubs following his brilliant first half of the season for Watford and is now a target for the Blues.

The Daily Mirror suggests that Chelsea are keen to see if Ighalo would be willing to leave Vicarage Road at the end of the season as they target a summer shake-up.

The reigning Premier League champions will likely get rid of Monaco loanee Radamel Falcao and French striker Loic Remy at the end of the season, if not earlier, and will then make Ighalo one of their man attacking targets.

26-year-old Ighalo, who has 13 Premier League goals this term, has already been linked with Arsenal and Manchester United while Atletico Madrid and AS Roma have also been credited with an interest.
