Ighalo Joins Another Saudi Arabian Club, Al Hilal S. FC

Nigerian international, Jude Odion Ighalo, has moved from Saudi Arabian club, Al Shabab FC to Al Hilal Saudi Football Club, based in Riyadh.

Naija News reports that Ighalo confirmed the move on his verified Instagram account on Saturday.

The striker, who went further to share pictures from the unveiling at the cub, has agreed on a deal with Al Hilal until June 2023.

He wrote: “Thank You @AlShababSaudiFC it was a Pleasure.”

“Those that leave everything in God’s hand will eventually see God’s hand in everything…New Chapter✍🏽💙🙏🏾,” he wrote on Instagram.

“Welcome the ‘Eagle’, Odion Ighalo,” the tweet from Al Hilal read, accompanied by the image of the Nigerian in his club’s colour.

Ighalo joined Al Shabab in February 2021, after signing a two-and-a-half-year deal.

The Saudi Arabian side had blocked the striker from representing Nigeria at the ongoing 2021 Africa Cup of Nations.
