Former Super Eagles forward linked with Championship club
Former Super Eagles forward Brown Ideye has been repeatedly linked with a return to England with interest from Sky Bet Championship campaigners Nottingham Forest, according to reports coming out of UK.
The Championship side are in quest of a Premier League spot next season as they currently occupy the fifth position on the standings.
Interestingly, Ideye, who had a stint with West Brom between 2014 and 2015 in the Premier League, netted four times for the Baggies, but he currently plies his trade with Greek side Aris Thessaloniki.
At the last count, the former Ocean Boys of Brass forward completed a 1-year switch to Greek Super League side Aris Thessaloniki F.C until the summer of 2020 after being without a club since the end of the 2017-18 campaign.
The 2013 AFCON winner, who previously won the Greek league title with Olympiacos between 2015 and 2017 tweeted a short statement after sealing the deal.
“Grateful and excited about this chapter,” admitted Ideye, whose last European adventure took him to La Liga campaigners Malaga where he made 13 appearances during his short loan spell.
