“We will see with Ighalo; I hope that he will change the club now to play, not to stay in the second division in China. He’s doing so well for the Super Eagles, he scored so many goals and has confidence.

”We still need him but also in good fitness. He had a little injury on the knee, I hope he will be fit again and play in his club.
