Watford to fend off bids for star striker Odion Ighalo

Quique Sanchez Flores believes Watford are ready to fend off any January offers for star striker Odion Ighalo.

Watford boss Flores hailed Ighalo as “completely clever” for staying with the Hornets in the summer, after going on to fire 12 goals in 17 Premier League appearances.

The 26-year-old’s brace sunk Liverpool in Sunday’s 3-0 win at Vicarage Road, leaving Watford toasting four consecutive top-flight victories for the first time since 1987.
