If we were to guess the preferred mode of transport for players in the Premier League, we'd probably pick sports cars or even private jets.

But shoppers in Watford were in for a pleasant surprise at the weekend, as former Hornets striker Odion Ighalo was spotted boarding a children’s train in the intu centre.

The forward, who spent two years at the club, left for China on Sunday – but not before one last trip on the train with his son.

The 27-year-old Nigerian international sealed a £20 million switch to the Chinese club Changchun Yatai last week, despite interest from other Premier League sides.

Ighalo scored 39 goals in 100 appearances for the Hornets, finishing 2015 as the year's top scorer across the top four divisions.
