Nigerian international, Odion Ighalo, will hold talks over his future at Watford as he is largely favoured to remain in the Premier League.
Reports have it that Watford had received a £10 million offer for the striker from Chinese first division side, Hebei China Fortune, which will be discussed in a meeting.
But it is understood the Nigerian international, who scored 20 times in 38 appearances for the Hornets last season, is reluctant to move to the Far East and would rather remain in England.
Ighalo’s haul last season included four goals in the 7-2 victory over Blackpool in January and, with Chinese clubs pushing for new recruits from England this summer – capturing Tottenham’s Paulinho for Guangzhou Evergrande – Ighalo’s goalscoring has been noticed by Hebei, which finished 14th in the Chinese second tier.
Hebei are managed by former Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona head coach, Raddy Antic, who played for Luton in the 1980s.
Watford have been busy in the transfer market already, bringing in Austria defender Sebastian Prodl, goalkeeper Giedrius Arlauskis and attacker Matej Vydra on a permanent deal from Udinese.
