West Brom stay for Ideye and his compatriot Victor Anichebe became uncertain due to the record signing of Jose Salomon Rondon.

Tony Pulis when asked about the striker's situation was coy with his answers.

“Obviously Victor and Brown – people will look at them and think they have to now move on, but I think they’ve wanted to play more regular football anyway,” Pulis said after Brom's opening day defeat to Manchester City.

“The fact we’re bringing Salomon in – does it hasten their move from the football club? We’ll have to wait and see.”
