Odion Ighalo reveals heart-warming reason behind turning down West Ham loan

"I got an offer from two Premier League teams – West Ham United and West Brom," Odion Ighalo revealed in an interview with ELEGBETE. 

"[They] were ready to pay but what am I going to do in the Premier League again after playing for [Manchester] United?

"What other team do I want to play for to fulfill my dream? I have already fulfilled my dream, played in Watford and did well, played in Manchester United.

"But I give God the glory for helping me fulfill this lifelong dream of putting on a Manchester United shirt as a player and represent this great club, it was indeed an honour I will forever cherish and be grateful for."

Ighalo moved to Old Trafford on loan from Shanghai Shenhua last January. He quickly turned into a popular figure among fans, which led to the club extending his loan till January 2021.

He made a total of 20 appearances for the Red Devils, scoring twice in the Europa League in 2019/20.

Ighalo currently plays for Saudi Arabian club Al-Shabab and scored nine goals in 13 games last term.
