West Bromwich Albion have reportedly made a late offer to take Watford striker Odion Ighalo on loan. 

The Hornets are believed to have agreed a £20m deal with Chinese club Chongchun Yatai for Ighalo.

Head coach Walter Mazzarri confirmed last week the club had received several offers for the Nigerian striker.

But West Brom are still keen on the forward and are hoping to secure a loan deal.

Baggies boss Tony Pulis is a known admirer of Ighalo, having tried to sign him on a couple of occasions in the last year, but recently said the Hornets were asking for too much money for him.

Whether they can convince the club to let him leave on loan will depend on the offers from China.

The Hornets would prefer to sell Ighalo but if the striker decides against moving to the Far East the club might be willing to let him leave on loan.

Ighalo's form has nosedived in the last year scoring just two goals this season for Watford.

The 27-year-old has previously turned down a move to China but with first-team chances likely to be limited, after the signings of Mauro Zarate and M'Baye Niang, Ighalo may decide his future lies away from Vicarage Road.

Ighalo was left out of the squad for yesterday's FA Cup defeat at Millwall and is unlikely to be involved at Arsenal tomorrow.
