Watford are open to cashing in on struggling striker Odion Ighalo this month, according to reports from the Daily Mirror.

Ighalo enjoyed a wonderful campaign in the Premier League last term and there have been reports that Watford rejected Manchester United's £35million offer for the Nigerian international while the striker himself allegedly snubbed a £37.5m move to Shanghai SIPG last summer.

However, Ighalo's stock has gone down dramatically this season following a poor run of form in front of goal and the Daily Mirror have claimed that the Hornets are now ready to dispense with the services of the 27-year-old, with clubs from China once again rekindling their interest.

However, the Hertfordshire club have a task in front of them to convince clubs in the Far East that the player who netted 16 goals in the Premier League last season is still worth a big transfer fee.

Ighalo, 27, has scored just once in 17 league outings this term.
