Odion Ighalo nominated for Championship Player of the Month award

Watford striker Odion Ighalo is on the shortlist for January's Player of the Month award in the Championship.

Watford's in-form striker Odion Ighalo is among the list of candidates up for January's Player of the Month award in the Championship.

The 25-year-old enjoyed a prolific month in front of goal, finding the net seven times in four games for the promotion-chasing Hornets.

Leeds United midfielder Luke Murphy is also up for the award after scoring twice - including the winner against leaders Bournemouth - to help Leeds edge away from the drop zone.

Lee Tomlin of Middlesbrough finds himself on the shortlist thanks to three goals in four matches for high-flying Boro, while a string of solid defensive performances from Wolverhampton Wanderers' Richard Stearman gives the centre-back a chance of winning the gong.

The winner of the award is due to be announced on Friday.
