The 26-year-old Nigeria international has scored five times this term, which has taken his tally for the calendar year to 25, the highest in England in 2015.
Ighalo, who was nominated for September's Player of the Month prize, turned down a big-money move to China over the summer, and signed a five-year deal to remain at Vicarage Road earlier this season.
His form may attract interest from bigger teams when the transfer window opens in January if his goal scoring continued.
"I'm not scared about Ighalo. I'm happy with him and not thinking about what might happen in the winter market. He had the chance to go out in the summer but decided to stay here and that was an amazing decision,” said the Watford manager.
"When a player plays well, the value changes to buy him. But we now think Ighalo is our most important player, he is very happy and can play in different positions.''
