SUPER Eagles forward Victor Anichebe believes Brown Ideye will be a big hit at West Bromwich Albion, but will need time to adapt to the Premier League.

The 25-year-old became the Hawthorns club’s record signing when he completed a transfer from Ukrainian outfit Dynamo Kyiv to the West Midlands club.

He already has a fan in his countryman, who expressed confidence in his ability to do well at the club, but warned against pressure because of the big-money move.

“I know Brown through playing for Nigeria and we’ve kept in touch ever since,” Anichebe told the Club’s official website. “We’ve kept tabs on how we’ve been doing in our respective leagues.

“He’s done well in Ukraine after moving there for a lot of money. He’s also come here for a big fee and I’m sure he will do well. But I don’t think the fans should expect too much, too soon from him.

“They should forget about the price tag. The club pays what they want to pay for players. That’s not down to the player.

“I know Brown is a really good player but the fans need to give him time to adapt, just as it’s taken me time to adapt.”
