Odion Ighalo has made a mega money move to China from Watford .
He passed his medical this afternoon and has joined Chinese Super League outfit Chongchun Yatai for £20m.
Striker Ighalo deliberatiled over the move after Watford accepted the bid with his preference to move to one of the clubs in Beijing or Shanghai.
But after that interest cooled Ighalo agreed to press ahead with the deal with Changchun Yatai.
He signed a £200,000-per-week deal.
Ighalo was top scorer across all four divisions in the calendar year 2015, when his 30 goals fired the Hornets to promotion and Premier League safety, in all but name, by Christmas.
Even when the goals dried up for him in the second half of last season, Shanghai SIPD made a mind-blowing £37.5m bid for Ighalo last summer – which the player rejected.
His market value plummeted as he finished 2016 with just six goals in all competitions, and Watford's top brass agree a fresh start is the best solution for all parties.
Another Chinese club, Shanghai Shenhua, were exploring the possibility of pairing Ighalo with Carlos Tevez, the world's highest-paid player on £600,000-a-week.
But they would not meet Watford's £27m asking price for a player their rivals SIPD had valued £10m higher only six months ago.
Ighalo appeared to be waving goodbye to travelling fans after the 2-2 draw at Bournemouth 17 days ago and was left out of the squad altogether for the embarrassing FA Cup defeat at Millwall on Sunday.
And after the arrivals of on-loan AC Milan striker M'Baye Niang – whose move is scheduled to become a permanent £14m transfer in the summer – and Mauro Zarate last week, Ighalo was sinking further down the pecking order than a mineshaft.
With £12.6m Isaac Success back in full training and skipper Troy Deeney among the crown jewels, Ighalo was faced with becoming fifth-choice striker.
