West Ham is one of six Premier League clubs looking at Odion Ighalo.
The Nigeria international is currently in China with Shanghai Shenhua who he joined in February this year – but reports suggest he is now keen to move back to the Premier League this winter.
Shenhua would sanction a loan with a view to a permanent deal, making his prospective signing extremely appealing to a number of sides in January.
Watford, Everton, Crystal Palace, Newcastle and Southampton in addition to the Hammers are said to have all indicated an interest in taking Ighalo in the New Year and it will likely come down to the striker’s preference with all six clubs reportedly keen to bring him in.
Ighalo scored 39 times in 99 appearances for Watford between 2014 and 2017 before departing for £21 million in 2017.
