A statement on the club’s website read ” Málaga CF is on loan until the end of the season to Brown Ideye, from the Chinese Tianjin Teda. The striker has already passed the relevant medical examination at the Vithas Salud Rincon Medical Center Rosaleda”.

Ideye

Ideye who had earlier joined Chinese side Tianjin Teda from Olympiakos in a bid to get more game time could also not manage to hold down a regular shirt.

With five months to the start of the World Cup in Russia and his chances of making the Super Eagles squad getting slimmer, Ideye will hope that his recent move will be the game changer.

The last time Ideye played for the Super Eagles was in the early stages of the world cup qualifers.
