  • Malaga hope the Nigerian will be able to lead the line when he returns to full fitness

Samu will not be the only incoming player this week as we count down to deadline day. Former West Bromwich Albion forward Brown Ideye has agreed a loan move to Malaga from Chinese club Tianjin Teda and passed his medical on Wednesday.

The Nigerian, 29, whose move to China didn't pay off, returns to Europe where he has had something of a nomadic career, representing the likes of Dinamo Kiev, Olympiakos and WBA.

Known for his strength, Malaga hope he will be able to lead the line, once he returns to full fitness.
