Ighalo's 'wink' at Barça as Catalans look for new striker

Odion Ighalo, the former Granada and Watford striker who now plays for Chinese side Changchun Yatai, has fuelled speculation he could move to Barcelona this month by retweeting a story by SPORT. 

Ighalo, who is currently in England awaiting news over his future, retweeted SPORT's story from Saturday which revealed Barça are looking at him as a short-term option in January. 

Munir's exit has forced the Catalan club to turn to the transfer market in an attempt to find cover for Luis Suarez between now and the summer. The idea is to sign someone on similar terms to those which saw defender Jeison Murillo arrive recently. 

Ighalo wants to return to Europe after his current side were relegated from the Chinese top fligth. Barça would be difficult to turn down.
