Tony Pulis is poised to make a £32million move for Watford striker Odion Ighalo before the transfer window closes.

West Brom boss Pulis is planning to use the sale of Saido Berahino – set to finally move to Stoke – to part-fund the ambitious swoop.

Should the move go ahead, it would see the Hornets rake in nearly 11 times the £3m they paid to take Ighalo from Spanish club Granada two years ago.

The 27-year-old Nigerian scored 15 goals during an impressive spell last season.

So far, this season, he has scored once in four games — netting Watford’s consolation in their 2-1 League Cup defeat at home to third-tier Gillingham.

Ighalo has been targeted by Pulis as an alternative to West Ham striker Diafra Sakho after he was forced to pull the plug on that £16m move earlier this month.

As confirmed by Hammers boss Slaven Bilic, Sakho failed a medical and is back in London.

But Pulis remains determined to bring in another frontman before the window closes.

Watford missed out on a small fortune last month after being forced to reject a £38m offer from Chinese side Shanghai SIPG.

Ighalo went on to sign a new deal, but – as we revealed – club chiefs were left frustrated because they had been keen to take the money only for the player to refuse to go.

However, Watford could now be prepared to part with him after landing 27-year-old Argentine Roberto Pereyra, who scored on his debut against Arsenal last weekend , from Juventus for £11m.
