Sunday Oliseh To Recall Brown Ideye After Two Years In International Wilderness?

Super Eagles coach Sunday Oliseh is contemplating whether or not to invite Olympiakos striker Brown Ideye for next month’s African Cup of Nations qualifying fixtures against Egypt.

Gazzetta.gr has speculated that the former Juventus and Ajax Amsterdam midfielder will call up Ideye for the double-header on the heels of his outstanding performance in the Greek Super League.

Since Oliseh took over from Stephen Keshi as the Super Eagles coach, Ideye has not featured for the national team, with his last appearance coming against Italy in a pre-World Cup friendly on November 18,2013.

Oliseh said in September 2015 : “Ideye is one of the players that I will immediately watch. He is in my plans and I want to see him playing for Olympiakos.

“His movement in Greece will be good for him and for Olympiakos. Of course this will help me enlist him to my options.”

Ideye has been involved in 14 goals across all competitions so far this season.
