Super Eagles technical adviser Gernot Rohr has confirmed that the Eagles’ striker Odion Ighalo is currently negotiating a contract that will see him play in England or Turkey, Sportinglens.blogspot.com reports.

Ighalo has been desperate to seek a move to Europe after his Chinese Super League side Changchum Yatai finished second from bottom and were relegated to the Chinese League One.

The 29-year old striker joined Changchun Yatai from Watford in 2017.

Rohr stated in a chat with Sportinglens.blogspot.com that Ighalo want to come back to Europe.

“Ighalo still has contract with his club but I think he wants to come back to Europe. He is trying at the moment to negotiate a contract in England or Turkey,” Rohr said to Sportinglens.blogspot.com.

“I hope to see him playing regularly again in a new club likewise the other players. They have to be fit, play well and they have to play regularly. He did so well in the last game for the national team and we hope that he comes back very soon.”
