Odion Ighalo in Saudi

Nigeria international Odion Ighalo has arrived in Saudi Arabia to seal his move to Al-Shabab.

The former Manchester United forward, in a post across social media platforms on Tuesday, thanked God for safe landing.

Ighalo, 31, will undergo a medical after agreeing to personal terms on a two-and-a-half-year deal with Al-Shabab.

The Saudi transfer window does not close until February 7.

Following the end of his loan spell at United, his parent club Shanghai Shenhua gave him permission to speak with the Saudi Arabian side.

Ighalo scored five goals in 23 appearances across all competitions for United after arriving on deadline day in January 2020.
