Odion Ighalo

Nigeria international Odion Ighalo has moved from Al Shabab to Al Hilal both in Saudi Arabia.

The move was completed on Saturday with Al Hilal announcing the signing of the former Manchester United forward on Twitter.

“Welcome the ‘Eagle’ @ighalojude,” the club said.

On Twitter, Ighalo thanked Al Shabab for his time there and also announced a new chapter.

Ighalo has been at Al Shabab since February 2021 where he signed a two-and-half-year deal.

The 32-year-old striker is the current MBS League leading top scorer after scoring 12 goals for Al Shabab so far this season.

In all, the former Watford striker has scored 20 goals in 30 appearances for Al Shabab before his departure.

Ighalo will be looking to help his new club who are currently fourth on the league standings. The Blue Wales finished last season as champions of the Saudi Arabia top flight.
