Odion Ighalo still has a future at Watford - Walter Mazzarri

Watford's out-of-form striker Odion Ighalo still has a future at the club despite losing his place in the team, manager Walter Mazzarri has said.

Ighalo attracted the interest of a host of big clubs -- and was the subject of a £37.5 million bid from Chinese club Shanghai SIPG in the summer -- after scoring 13 Premier League goals before the turn of the year last season.

But the 27-year-old Nigeria international found the back of the net on just two occasions in the second half of Watford's campaign, and he has scored just once in the league this term.
