Ighalo netted six goals in five league outings to help Carlos Inarejos’ men finish the campaign in fantastic fashion with three consecutive wins.

Ighalo enjoyed fantastic goal-scoring form in May, netting a brace against Al-Wehda and Ettifaq, before a goal each against Al-Faisal and Al-in.

The 32-year-old helped Al Shabab finish second on the table which earned them automatic spot qualification for the season’s AFC Champions League.
