West Bromwich Albion’s new record signing Brown Ideye confirmed that his work permit has now been granted.
The Nigeria striker, 25, signed from Dynamo Kiev in July for an undisclosed fee, believed to be about £10m, but had been unable to fly to England due to delays in processing his visa.
Ideye has not been able to take part in any of Albion’s pre-season friendlies. “The British High commission called my club to inform them that I have been issued the visa,” Ideye told BBC Sport.
“He added: “This is a positive news. I’m close to my phone waiting for the call to let me know when it’s ready for pick up.”
“I would like to thank my club officials and the high commission staff for their effort to get it sorted.”
“I’ve been training here all the while but now my bags are packed and I’m ready to join the team in England.” Ideye missed a pre-season friendly against Nottingham Forest last week and will miss Tuesday’s match against Port Vale.
The striker has already said he will struggle to be fit in time to make his Premier League debut at home to Sunderland on 16 August.
