As noted by Transfermarkt, the striker scored seven goals in all competitions for the club in what could be his final season if he does not extend his contract, which had expired on June 30.

The former Premier League star, during his holiday, has put his taste for luxury and lavishness on display by throwing a massive party for his 36th birthday, which was attended by Super Eagles stars.

He also spared time for charitable activities by spending time at his orphanages and giving to widows, which he supports at different places in Nigeria.

The striker is still in Lagos, where he is spending time at his mansion and keeping fit at the mini-pitch inside it, ahead of deciding on his next club for next season.

He has recently been hosting Nigerian social media influencers during his training and giving them tasks, sometimes simple or difficult, for massive cash rewards.

As seen in a video shared on Instagram by Egungun, he invited the popular vlogger for his training, presented him with a new pair of football boots before his challenge.

Ighalo promised him ₦5 million if he could juggle the ball 500 times, which the vlogger enthusiastically accepted, but emphatically failed, juggling the ball only 36 times.

The former Al-Hilal star rewarded him with ₦1.5 million, despite being far from hitting the target, which elicited reactions from fans in the comments section.

Ighalo promised Carterefe ₦1 million

Legit.ng reported that Ighalo promised Carterefe ₦1m if he mentions the name of his club before presenting him with a signed jersey during a training session at his mansion.

The Twitch streamer was unable to provide an answer, and his attempt at “hilala” was closer to Al-Hilal, which Ighalo last played for in 2023 before joining Al-Wehda.
