Ideye In Solidarity With CHAN Eagles

Super Eagles striker,  Brown Ideye paid a visit to his home-based colleagues in their Port Harcourt camp after they played a friendly match with amateur side Gokana United FC on Sunday.

The Dynamo Kyiv frontman arrived at the team’s camp shortly before dinner on Saturday, and went on to exchange pleasantries with his teammates, many of whom he had not seen since Nigeria’s friendly game against Italy.

The 25-year-old went on to encourage his teammates who are set to represent Nigeria in the African Nations Championship next year.

“My mates will do well at the Chan tourney because we have a good team and a very good technical crew backed by a performing NFF,” Ideye said.

He also assured the coaches on his fitness, stating that he is in good shape in spite of the holidays as he has been keeping fit and getting set for the restart of the Ukrainian season as well as the Eagles preparations for the World Cup in Brazil.

Commenting on the chances of some of the newly invited home-based players to break into the World Cup squad, Ideye joking told coach Stephen Keshi that he has his work cut out ahead of an envisaged selection headache.

He was however quick to add that any new invitee will be very much welcome to the squad.

“Sir, they are all welcome, the more the merrier,” an obviously excited Ideye told Stephen Keshi.
