West Bromwich Albion striker Brown Ideye earns Nigeria recall

Nigeria pick West Bromwich Albion striker Brown Ideye in their squad for their upcoming friendly encounters against Bolivia and South Africa.

West Bromwich Albion striker Brown Ideye has been rewarded for his recent form courtesy of a recall to the Nigeria squad.

The 26-year-old, who represented his country at the 2013 Confederations Cup, had recently fallen out of favour with previous head coach Stephen Keshi.

However, having scored five goals in his last eight outings for the Baggies, the 24-capped forward has been included in the squad for this month's friendly matches against Bolivia and South Africa.

"So happy to be back with the National team," he tweeted yesterday evening.

Ideye joined West Brom from Dynamo Kyiv last summer for £10m.
