Super Eagles striker Odion Ighalo has been included in the Team of the Season for the Saudi Arabia Pro League.
Ighalo concluded an excellent 2021-22 campaign, as he played a crucial part in helping Al Hilal lift the league title on the last day.
The former Manchester United was by some distance the best striker in the Saudi Arabian top flight. The Super Eagles forward finished top of the scoring chart with 24 goals. His closest rivals, Al Ittihad’s Romarinho and Al Nassr’s Talisca, both had 20 goals.
Ighalo netted 12 goals in 18 games for Al Shabab in the first half of the season. The Watford hero then switched to Al Hilal in January and fired another dozen in 13 matches to power the Asian Galacticos to the championship crown.
