Ideye joins Mikel, Ighalo in China
Super Eagles striker, Brown Ideye, is the latest Nigerian to join the Chinese League, following in the footsteps of John Mikel Obi, Odion Ighalo and Asisat Oshoala.
Ideye has teamed up with Super Eagles captain, Mikel Obi, at Tianjin Teda after sorting out transfer modalities on Wednesday.
The ex-Olympiacos striker is said to have been sold in a deal worth €12 million.
Ideye is reportedly on a salary of €3.5million every season, making him Nigeria’s sixth highest paid player.
The forward was a key member of the Super Eagles 2013 AFCON winning team.
He made the switch just before the lucrative Chinese League closes its transfer window at the end of the week.
Ideye joined Olympiacos in 2015 after a spell at West Bromwich Albion where he started well and was scoring regularly before experiencing a barren spell.
