Super Eagles striker says Rohr has not called him after China move

Ighalo will earn close to £200,000 per week after signing with Yatai from Premier League club, Watford.

According to , although disappointed, Ighalo revealed that he is still expecting a call from Rohr.

Ighalo lost his first-team place at Watford following a loss of form which saw him score just one Premier League goal this season.

Speaking of his last days at Watford, the 27-year-old revealed that he was frustrated with his bench role under new boss Walter Mazzarri who was appointed following the sacking of Enrique Sánchez Flores in the summer of 2016.

The striker also revealed that he preferred to stay in England or Europe but clubs did not meet Watford’s valuation of the striker.

Ighalo was a subject of interest from West Brom who pulled out of a move because of Watford’s asking price.

“I think Watford want too much so I don’t think we’ll be on that one,” West Brom boss Tony Pulis said in late January.

Changchun Yatai finally paid £22m for the striker making him the most expensive Nigerian player ever.
