Twenty-one goals in the season with a contribution rate of 49 percent; the highest among the top scorers in the Chinese Super League, and Odion Ighalo is not considered in the Best XI for the season.
Ighalo who is currently Changchun Yatai’s record goal scorer finds the back of the net every other weekend, but the Nigerian international is not considered one of the best forwards in the league, per whoscored.com
The Striker’s only recognition came in the goalscorers’ stats board, where he is second only to Shanghai SIPG’s Wu Lei, with three games before the end of the season.
Ahead of the Nigerian in the attack line of a 4-4-2 formation, are Lei and Shandong Luneng’s Graziano Pelle.
