Ighalo was unveiled by Changchun Yatai on Monday after completing a £20m deal
from Watford.
After
completing his move to Changchun Yatai, Ighalo thanked Watford fans for their
support during his time with them.
“A
special thanks to Watford fans, who I really hold dearly in my heart because
they supported me since the very first day I came to this club to the last day.
“Even
when things weren’t going well for me, they were still there chanting my name
beside me. Though things don’t always go the way you want in life, you have to
keep moving and working hard.
“Some
of them [Watford fans] were not happy because the goals did not come as they
want. I can understand them because I’ve done it in the past and they want to
see it again.
“I’m
sorry for that and I’m sorry it didn’t work out the way it should be but I’m
really happy to have been associated with this Watford family and wherever I
go, to China or wherever, I’m still going to hold the fans dearly to my heart
because they have always been there for me.
“Thanks to Watford fans for the great support, they will always be in my heart wherever I go.”
Prior
to moving to the Chinese league, Ighalo who scored 15 top-flight goals in
2015-16, scored only one Premier League goal this season and went 15 games
without scoring in all competitions.
During
his time with the Hornets, Ighalo played 100 times in all competitions and
scored 39 goals.
In
the calendar year of 2015, he scored 30 goals in 38 games.
