The former Super Eagles star was handed a two-and-a-half-year deal with the King Fahd Stadium outfit having passed his medicals.

Ighalo initially joined Premier League side Manchester United in a temporary deal at the end of the January transfer window as the Red Devils sought cover in attack for the rest of the 2019-20 campaign, with Marcus Rashford suffering a long-term injury.
