Ligue 1 moneybags Monaco are monitoring the transfer situation of Dynamo Kiev striker Brown Ideye, Sky Sports is reporting.

Monaco, who recently handed a trial to another Nigerian forward Aaron Samuel, are in the market for a new offensive player following the injury to Colombia star Radamel Falcao.

Ahead of the World Cup this summer, Ideye , 25 , is concerned about his lack of playing opportunities for Dynamo Kiev and would not mind changing his club.

He is not new to the French championship having defended the colors of Sochaux from 2010 - 2011.

Turkish powerhouse Besiktas are also believed to be on the trail of the Nigeria international.
