Ighalo vibes to Davido's hit song 'Unavailable' as Osimhen reacts
Odion Ighalo was having a swell summer holiday as he was vibing to Davido's hit track 'Unavailable' with a couple of friends which caught the attention of Victor Osimhen.
Instead, it was Ighalo who was chosen to lead the line of a three-man attack. Ighalo finished ahead of Ronaldo in the Golden Boot race, scoring 19 goals in 27 league games for Al-Hilal.
The Super Eagles star could not help Al-Hilal retain the title they won last season, but he was one of the best players in the league.

Ighalo future remains uncertain
Surprisingly, the league’s top scorer Abderrazak Hamdallah was not included despite scoring two more goals than Ighalo.
