Brown Ideye’s move to China appears to be drawing close, after he was left out of Olympiakos’ squad for their UEFA Europa League second leg round of 32 tie against Turkey’s Osmalunspor.
The Nigerian striker’s name was conspicuously missing in the 20-man squad published on the Greek team’s official Twitter page, ahead of the match on Thursday.
Although Olympiakos and Tianjin TEDA are yet to confirm the transfer, it is believed that Ideye has already agreed a two-and-a-half year deal and will cost the Chinese Super League club €12million.
The transfer window in China closes later this week ahead of the new season next month and TEDA are in the market for a new striker to add to their squad.
Ideye has been at Olympiakos since 2015, after joining the Greek club following a miserable one-year stint in the Premier League with West Brom.
The 28-year-old scored seven goals in 31 appearances in all competitions for the Baggies before leaving. He went on to net 13 times in his debut season in the Greek Super League and already has 15 goals this term.
