Chelsea are reportedly monitoring the progress of in-form Watford striker, Odion Ighalo, according to the [Mirror](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/chelsea-join-transfer-chase-watfords-7206795).

The Nigerian striker has taken the Premier League by storm since Watford’s promotion to the top flight and is attracting interest from across both the Premier League and Europe.

Ighalo has scored 13 goals this season, forming a clinical partnership with English striker, Troy Deeney.

The form hasn’t gone unnoticed, Atletico Madrid, Roma and Arsenal are all thought to be considering the striker as a transfer target.
