Ighalo: I Can Only Play In NPFL If…

Super Eagles striker, Odion Ighalo, has confessed that he would love to play in the Nigerian Professional Football League (NPFL) if only the league is well organized and matches are shown on television.

Ighalo stated this in a chat with SupersSports, where he questioned the nation’s security lapses and poor organization of the league as reasons why some players don’t like to return to the NPFL.

Our players abroad can come back to Nigeria but security must be improved upon.

“The League (Nigerian Premier Football League) must be well organized. A lot of money will be pumped into the game and matches should be on television,” Ighalo said on Super Sport.
