When two oppositely charged ions (say A+ and B- ) approach each other the positive ion attracts electrons on the outermost shell of the anion and repels its positively charged nucleus. ... If the polarization is quite small, an ionic bond is formed, while if the degree of polarization is large, a covalent bond results.

This is exactly what happens in a covalent bond, that is an electron charge density is build up around the nuclei. The percentage covalent character in an ionic bond is determined by the polarization power of the cation, the polarizing ability of the anion and the distortion of anion taking place.
