Super Eagles striker Odion Ighalo has stated that his wait for a league title in his professional career took 17 years.
Ighalo won the Saudi Pro League with Al-Hilal on Monday night, scoring the most goals in the league with 24.
The former Manchester United striker resorted to Instagram to convey his appreciation for winning his first league championship and to provide words of inspiration.
“I waited 17 years before winning my first league title, it doesn’t matter how long it takes, if you keep working hard and never give up, you will get it right one day. God is the greatest,” he wrote.
Ighalo, who started his professional career with defunct Julius Berger FC, Lagos, has played club football in six countries across Europe and Asia without winning a league title.
The former Watford star has, however, won the highest goal scorer award at different clubs he had played.
