Super Eagles forward Brown
Ideye is close to sealing a big money move from Olympiacos of Greece to Chinese
side Tianjin Teda.
A fee in the region of
£13m was reportedly agreed for his transfer to the team that currently has
captain of the Super Eagles John Obi Mikel on their payroll.
Ideye will reportedly earn
an annual salary of $4m if the move goes through but the Greek side are yet to
sanction his move with their Europa League round of 32 clash against
Osmanlispor around the corner.
” To be honest I don’t
know if Ideye will play against Osmanlispor, we have to wait and see if both
clubs agree to the terms of the transfer, his agent Hutu Ahmad said.
” I have not talked to
anyone today, as am in London at the moment, so you have to ask Olympiacos if
they are willing to sell however I know the president don’t want to let Ideye
go”.
Already four Nigerians in
John Obi Mikel, John Owoeri, Chinedu Obasi and Odion Ighalo have all moved to
China this January, bringing to six the number of Nigerians in the big paying
league.
Obafemi Martins and Leke
James complete the list of Nigeria in the currently which could swell to seven
if Ideye’s move is agreed.
