One of the Premier League's most in-form strikers could be sailing away to the Italian top flight or the Spanish Primera División.
Sources report that Odion Ighalo, Watford's scoring leader, has begun talks to sign with Serie A's Roma and Atletico Madrid, both in need of a trustworthy forward.
Ighalo's form has been crucial for the Hornets this season, becoming the team's leader both on and off the pitch with his crucial goals and ball handling skills. The Nigerian striker has scored more than 50% of the club's goals this season, helping Quique Sanchez Flores' crew to the 7th place in their return to the Premier League.
5 - Odion Ighalo is the first Watford player to score in five successive top-flight games. Record.

Sources indicate that Ighalo's experience playing with Udinese and Cesena could be crucial for them, considering another former Premier League striker, Edin Dzeko, has been quite an asset for the Giallorossi this semester.
Other reports suggest that Ighalo has been targeted by Atletico Madrid to substitute Colombian Jackson Martinez, who has failed to impress with Los Colchoneros this season. The South American striker could be making way for Ighalo if he decides to join either Chelsea or Tottenham, who have shown interest in adding the player to their squads.
