Nigerian international striker Brown Ideye is set to leave Olympiakos for Chinese Super League side Tianjin Teda, source confirmed.

The transfer window in China will close at the end of February ahead of the new season next month and Tianjin Teda are in the market for a new foreign striker.

Ideye has been at Olympiakos since 2015 and managed to bag 28 goals after 65 appearances in all competitions.

If the move completes, Brown Ideye will join his compatriot John Obi Mikel at Tianjin Teda.
