Goals of striker to earn Watford £200M
Goals of Nigeria international Odion Ighalo is set to earn Watford about £200 million it has been revealed.
The striker has been in hot form this season scoring 14 league goals stretching his league goals to 30 in the 2015 calendar year.
Watford’s captain Troy Deeney has revealed that the club will not sell the striker as they are set to earn higher by keeping him.
Watford will earn £200 million if they stay up in the Premier League and Igahlo goals in making that a possibility, so Deeney does not see the need of the club to seel his strike partner.
“Odion is not going in January,” Deeney told Watford Observer.
“So other teams can want Iggy (Ighalo) as much as they want but I know Gino (Pozzo, Watford’s owner) and it wouldn’t make sense to sell.
“Why sell a striker when you are trying to stay in the Premier League? What would be the value in selling Odion now and getting what £20 mil- lion? £25 million?
“Or you keep him, stay up and get something like £200 million in TV money. It is simple business maths. We will not sell him.
“Odion hasn’t come in telling everyone he wants to leave. We just laugh at that (Ighalo leaving in January).”
