The Hero of the Time: Odion Ighalo
Odion
Ighalo is a professional footballer who plays for Watford and the Nigerian
National Team. He was born in Lagos, Nigeria. He had played with Julius Berger
FC and Prime FC in Nigeria before he was discovered by a FIFA agent.
Before
he was discovered, his mother supported him with all she could to see that her
son played football in Nigeria.
He
played in the Norwegian league before he moved on to Italy. He was later loaned
to La Liga. He was then loaned to Watford, England. It is here that he met his
beautiful luck that has put him on the spot of good strikers. He is adjudged as
the highest club scorer in the English Premier League. He has played for
Nigeria once, and Nigerians didn’t really see much of him in that match.
The
situation now is that he is now the center of attraction in the English Premier
League, and he is also the highest goal scorer for now. His name is widely
circulated in the English media, and the fans seem to be in love with his style
of play. There is a rumor that a club is bargaining for him with a large sum of
money. Whether this is true or not, Ighalo has made his mark.
