The striker also revealed that he rejected offers from China in 2016 but never thought about leaving Europe.

In the statement, the Super Eagles striker thanked Olympiacos president and fans for their support during his time at the club.

“The club is truly one of the best run clubs I’ve come across, where everything is done to enhance our performance on the pitch and I must thank all the staff from CEO down who have made myself and my family feel so welcome,” the striker said.

Ideye joins his national team captain John Mikel Obi who joined Tianjin Teda in January.
