Odion Ighalo is delighted at the heroic welcome he was welcomed with by former club Granada as he was a special guest prior to their 2-1 home defeat to Real Madrid on Sunday.
The 26-year-old Nigerian international helped guide them to La Liga during his time on loan there was
greeted with a rousing reception from the home supporters - who still remains a clear fan favourite despite his departure.
"It is always a treat to come home. Granada thanks and goodbye."
Ighalo was given this season's Granada home shirt with his name and the No 7 on the back as a gift from the Spanish club who recognised his feats in their rise to Spain's top flight.
In September, he and Watford team-mate Allan Nyom were immortalised in a 'Promotion Heroes' gate at the club's Los Carmenes stadium.
Whilst on loan from Serie A outfit Udinese, Ighalo and Nyom became key members of the Granada squad which secured back-to-back promotions to La Liga after the Pozzo family's investment in the club in 2009. The Pozzo family currently own Udinese, Granada and Watford.
