Super Eagles returnee Odion Ighalo has been named the West Asia player of the month of October following his impressive displays for his Saudi Arabia club Al-Shabab.
Ighalo has scored nine goals in 11 league games for Al-Shabab this season, with four coming in October. The 32-year-old opened his account last month against Al-Batin FC before netting a brace against Al-Ittihad Jeddah.
He capped off an excellent month with a goal Al-Tai. These performances have not gone unnoticed with fans, who have now voted him October’s player of the month.
Al-Shabab confirmed the win on their Instagram page before Ighalo also reshared on his social media pages. The ex-Watford striker will hope to carry his excellent form into the international break.
