Ex-Watford striker Ighalo welcomes Barcelona interest

Former Granada and Watford striker Odion Ighalo has welcomed interest from Barcelona, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

Changchun Yatai forward has fuelled speculation he could move to Barcelona this month by retweeting their story linking the Nigerian with the Catalans.

The Camp Nou giants are looking for a replacement for Luis Suarez following the departure of Munir El Haddadi to Sevilla and imminent exit of Denis Suarez.

Meanwhile, Ighalo is in search of top-flight football following Changchun Yatai's relegation from the Chinese Super League last year.

Three unnamed Premier League clubs plus Fenerbahce and Galatasaray are
understood to be interested in the former Udinese and Watford man.
