Striker Odion Ighalo will join Saudi Arabian club Al-Shabab FC on a permanent deal from CSL side Shanghai Shenhua.

Ighalo has reportedly agreed personal terms with Al-Shabab FC and is expected to have his medical soon.

The Forward recently left Manchester United after his loan deal expired and was due to return to his parent club Shanghai Shenhua.

But the future of the 31 year-old took a dramatic twist after Shanghai Shenhua and the Saudi Professional League club reached an agreement for his transfer.

The transfer window in Saudi Arabia runs until February 7.

Ighalo scored five goals in 23 appearances across all competitions for Manchester United.
