Ideye makes goals pledge

Brown Ideye has promised to mark his return to the Super Eagles after a two-year absence with goals in Liberia on Saturday.  

The on-form Dynamo Kiev of Russia striker said that he is looking forward to transferring his goal scoring form at his club to the Super Eagles.

Ideye, who has averaged one goal a game this season, also disclosed that he is delighted to be back in the Eagles after almost two years in international wilderness.

"The dream of every striker is to score goals whenever he is on the pitch. That is my aim this weekend, I hope to transfer my club form to country because we all know how important this game is to Nigeria and as a team we are to go get the result in Monrovia,” said Ideye, who scored Dynamo’s all-important goal that ensured they qualified to feature in this season’s UEFA Champions League.

"I am happy to be back. It’s my first time under coach Stephen Keshi and I must confess I am happy with what I have seen in camp."

Former Nigeria U20 star Ideye was first capped by Nigeria in 2010 and was a late replacement for injured Chelsea midfielder Mikel Obi to the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
