Ideye wants to be Russian goal king

Nigeria international striker Brown Ideye has disclosed that his target is to finish top scorer of the Ukrainian league in his debut season.

“My target is to finish as top scorer in the Ukrainian league,” said 22-year-old Ideye, who has so far netted five goals in eight appearances for Dynamo Kiev.

“I scored 15 goals for Sochaux in the French league last season and I believe I can score more in Ukraine this season.”

The former Ocean Boys star has also expressed delight that compatriot Yusuf Ayila has returned to action with Dynamo after he suffered an injury while training with the Super Eagles prior to the Madagascar match.

“Ayila is fit again. He is an important player for my team and this is also good for Nigeria,” said Ideye.

“He can play again from next weekend.”

The other Nigerian at Kiev is Olympic team skipper Lukman Haruna.
