Part of the decision I went to China was for them,” the striker said in an interview with Linda Ikeji TV.

Now they won’t understand the type of sacrifice because they are young. But when they grow up and see everything I have achieved and put in their name in they will appreciate. I don’t regret moving to China,” he addedOn life in China, the former Watford striker said

It's been great, I have been there only five months, its great and comfortable, the club have supported me. Everything I want they have given it to me so I can focus on my family.

He also revealed that he has not moved his family to China because his children are settled in London.

My family has not moved to China, my kids still go to school in London. I don’t want to move them because the education in London is much better than in China,” he revealed.

In another chat, Ighalo revealed he has become multi-lingual after playing in several countries throughout his career.

Since leaving Nigeria in 2007, Ighalo has played in Norway, Spain, Italy, England and now China.

While playing in these countries, the striker has managed to learn the basics of the main language of each of the countries.

Now playing in China for Changchun Yatai, the club he joined in January 2017, the striker has started Chinese classes.

I take two-hour classes every day to learn Chinese, I speak a little Norwegian, I speak Italian, I speak Spanish fluently,” the former Watford striker said in an interview with Linda Ikeji TV. 

I always love to learn languages to be able to communicate very well. 

Sometimes it’s difficult with the language barrier, but if you understand a little bit and have an idea of what they are saying, you will be fine.

Ighalo started his career in Nigeria with Prime FC and Julius Berger before travelling to Norway to play for Lyn in 2007.

He moved to Italy to play for Udinese the following year before moving over to Spain to play for Granada first on loan in 2009. He returned to Italy in 2010 to play for Cesena but moved back to Spain again to play for Granada.
