Having scored 30
goals in 75 games in all competition this year, Nigeria Super Eagles and
Watford FC striker Odion Ighalo has won the bragging rights as the top scorer
in England for 2015.
Ighalo’s 41st minute
strike at Vicarage road yesterday, December 28, took his tally this year to 30
goals, making him the highest goal scorer in England’s top tiers in 2015.
Although his team,
Watford went down 2-1 to Tottenham Hotspurs, Ighalo is on a red-hot streak,
scoring in all six of his latest Premier League games, including a brace at
home to Liverpool and a deflected effort against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
He is the first ever
Watford player to score in six consecutive English top flight games.
Ighalo has 14 goals
already in the English Premier League season after 19 games. He scored 16 goals
from 18 games while in the Championship.
The energetic striker
beat Tottenham Hotspurs talisman Harry Kane who finished on 29 goals to earn
the bragging rights.
An excited Ighalo took
to Social media (Twitter) to thank teammate Troy Deeney, family and God for
finishing the year strong.
Meanwhile, there are
indications that Odion Ighalo could be on his way out of England as
Spanish giants Athletico Madrid have reportedly shown interest in the Nigerian.
Reports reveal that
Athletico Madrid has been monitoring the player closely and have sent scouts to
watch him on several occasions this season.
Atletico are said to
have tabled £12million offer in a bid lure the goal poacher away from Vicarage
Road.
