West Brom have signed Nigeria international
striker Brown Ideye for a club-record fee from
Dynamo Kiev.
The 25-year-old has signed a three-year contract,
with an option for a further 12 months, after
agreeing personal terms and passing a medical.
Ideye has been handed the No.9 shirt and moves
to The Hawthorns for an undisclosed fee, widely
reported to be £9m.
“Done deal, officially a West Bromwich Albion
player, thank you god,” Ideye tweeted. “Dream
come true ... EPL. Would like to thank my family
and my agents."
The former Sochaux and Neuchatel Xamax
forward has netted 33 goals in 74 matches for
Dyanmo Kiev and scored five times in 23
appearances for his country, but was overlooked
for this summer’s World Cup in Brazil.
“Brown is a quality striker and I’m looking forward
to working with him,” manager Alan Irvine told
Albion’s website.
“He’s a strong, quick, powerful player who likes to
get in behind defences and has plenty of
Champions League and international experience.”
Technical director Terry Burton added: “It is a
fantastic signing because of the quality and the
potential of the player.
“I can see that he really wants to be here and
that he really wants to be playing in the Premier
League.
“He’s a dynamic player who likes to get in behind
defenders and he has the pace to do so.
“He gets himself into good scoring positions in
the box and if there are opportunities the he will
get on the end of them.
