West Brom have signed Nigeria striker Brown Ideye for an undisclosed fee, believed to be around $15M. The Baggies announced the arrival of the 25 year-old Dynamo Kiev player on Friday, saying they had broken the club's record. Ideye is the club's fifth summer signing as they bolster their squad.
"Brown is a quality striker and I'm looking forward to working with him," said head coach Alan Irvine. "He's a strong, quick, powerful player who likes to get in behind defences and has plenty of Champions League and international experience." Ideye has scored 74 goals in 182 career league appearances.
Technical director Terry Burton added: "When I arrived at Albion the recruitment department flagged Brown up as the man at the top of their wish list. "It is a fantastic signing because of the quality and the potential of the player. We're looking forward to seeing him play for the club and scoring goals."
