Watford striker Odion Ighalo believes that Saturday’s opponents Arsenal could win the Premier League but are not the favourites for the title.

Ighalo returns from the international break having scored a goal in Nigeria’s 3-0 demolition of Cameroon in Brussels on Sunday.

The Gunners are second, sandwiched between the Manchester clubs, going into the weekend, but the Nigerian thinks they will have to contend with the usual favourites to win their first title in more than a decade.

“Arsenal can win it, but it's going to be difficult because you have Manchester City, Manchester United and even Chelsea fighting too,” Ighalo told Goal.

“There’s no good time to play them because Arsenal are a big and good team.”

The 26-year-old has been in great form as he was nominated for the Premier League Player of the Month for September and has scored five goals so far, more than strikers Theo Walcott and Olivier Giroud combined.

“It’s a great feeling but I don’t want to be carried away with that,” he said, instead focussing on the challenge ahead.

Having failed to score against Manchester City during his first encounter with one of the giants of the English game this season, the Nigerian will face Arsenal on Saturday hoping to reprise the feat of his hero, Samuel Eto’o, against the Gunners during his brief spell with Chelsea. Eto’o opened scoring in that famous 6-0 demolition of the Gunners at Stamford Bridge in March 2014.

“Samuel Eto’o is my idol, I love the way he plays and some people call me Eto’o,” he said.

Days after American singer, Jhene Aiko filed for divorce from Nigerian husband Dot Tha Genius, the singer has made a surprising announcement that Big Sean will be her next baby daddy. The ‘Post to be’ singer made this declaration at their High Road Tour in Chicago last night, after performing for the excited audience. “So I started this groove with my next baby father. His name is Big Sean,” she said, adding, “you guys clap for Big Sean – make some noise!” Recall that after news of her divorce application broke, Aiko took to Twitter to set the records straight over claims that she cheated on Do That Genius. Also, the ‘Wading’ singer hinted that she endured physical abuse during that 11-month marriage, an accusation the Nigerian producer denied. Now, Aiko is giving critics the middle finger by declaring (perhaps jokingly?) that the subject of her alleged infidelity will be her next baby father, and this has sent social media on a meltdown.
