Ideye is reportedly set to make a move to China to sign for Tianjin Teda before their transfer window ends at the end of February.

Further fueling the rumour, the striker was not included in Olympiacos’ squad for their Europa League second leg round of 32 clash with Turkey's Osmalunspor.

Ideye is reportedly set to put pen to paper on a two-and-a-half- year contract for a transfer fee of €12 million with Tianjin.

If he eventually signs for the Chinese Super League side, he will be joining his Super Eagles teammate and captain John Mikel Obi.

Mikel Obi joined Teda in January from Chelsea and has been named the captain of the team.

He would also be the third Super Eagles player to move to the Chinese Super League in China’s January - February transfer window.

Odion Ighalo in January left Premier League club Watford for Changchun Yatai.
