Watford have accepted an offer worth £20m from Chinese club Changchun Yatai for their forward Odion Ighalo, but the Nigerian player does not wish to relocate to China, The Guardian reports.

Ighalo is keen to continue playing in the Premier League and hopes that Watford wil instead agree to West Brom's offer for a loan deal until the end of the season.

Watford are understood to want to move the player before the transfer deadline tomorrow night, to make room for new arrivals M’Baye Niang and Mauro Zarate who were signed to bolster their attack.
