Manchester United and Arsenal set to battle with Atletico Madrid over striker
ODION IGHALO'S excellent form is set to trigger a three-way fight for his services next season, according to reports.
Watford are desperate to hang on to their star striker
The 26-year-old has been a Premier League sensation this year with 14 goals from 24 starts.
His goals have powered newly-promoted Watford to tenth in the league despite a recent slump which has seen them win just one of their last five.
And now the Hornets look set for a challenge come the summer if they are to hang onto the Nigerian striker.
But both Manchester United and Arsenal are said to be interested in the striker, with United in particular struggling for goals this season.
Louis van Gaal has spent more than £250m during his time at United but has yet to create a cohesive attacking unit.
And while Arsenal's Olivier Giroud has proved to be a more than adequate goalscorer, there is little depth and Arsene Wenger would welcome Ighalo as an alternative.
