It is quite a time to be Nigerian soccer star Odion Ighalo.  Ighalo is a main fixture for the English club Watford and now he has a new endorsement deal to boast as well. 

MultiChoice Nigeria has signed Ighalo to be their newest brand ambassador.  Multichoice is a leading video entertainment and internet company in Africa. 

Ighalo officially agreed to the deal last weekend.  His local roots make him the perfect representative to connect with fans all across the country. 

Ighalo is coming off a successful first season in the Premier League.  He scored in his first league appearance last August and was named Player of the Month in December.  

Overall, Ighalo totaled 15 goals in 37 appearances.  He originally joined Watford in 2014 and helped them attain promotion from the Championship. 

In 2015, Ighalo also made his first appearance for the Nigerian national team.  As an attacking striker, he should be an asset for the Super Eagles for years to come.
