The veteran footballer is set to sign a two-year contract with the club, pending approval from the Saudi Pro League.

As reported by Sky Sports, Ighalo’s move to Al Wehda comes after his departure from Al Hilal at the end of the previous month.

The 34-year-old forward, renowned for his extensive experience, is expected to complete a medical examination this week in preparation for his transition to the new club.

Ighalo’s forthcoming journey with Al Wehda marks his second venture into Saudi Arabian football, having previously played for another Saudi Arabia club, Al Shabab.

His accomplishments on the field are evident, as he emerged as the top scorer in the Saudi Pro League during the 2021/2022 season.

As a free agent, Ighalo’s addition to Al Wehda represents a significant asset for the club. The footballer’s stature in the sport and his track record of success make him a valuable addition to the team’s lineup.

As the deal moves closer to finalization, the football community eagerly anticipates Ighalo’s contributions to his new club, Al Wehda, and his continued journey in the world of professional football.
