Ighalo 'honoured' by new Watford deal

Watford striker Odion Ighalo has revealed he had no hesitation in signing a new five-year contract.

The Nigeria international, 27, told BBC Sport: "I feel at home here and once the opportunity to extend was finalised, I signed it straight away.

"Playing with this incredible squad and in front of our amazing fans gives me a special excitement and buzz.

"I can see the direction the club is going and I feel honoured to be a part of the long-term plan."

The Super Eagle joined the Hornets from Udinese in July 2014 and his 20 goals helped them win promotion to the Premier League in 2014-15 season.
