English premier league club side, West Bromwich Albion have signed Nigerian striker Brown Ideye from Dynamo Kiev for a club-record £10million transfer fee.
The 25-year-old joins the Baggies on a three-year deal, having passed his medical on Friday, and can stay for a fourth if the club wish to excise that option.
Ideye is set to wear the No. 9 shirt at the Hawthorns.
West Brom manager Alan Irvine said: 'Brown is a quality striker and I'm looking forward to working with him.
'He's a strong, quick, powerful player who likes to get in behind defences and has plenty of Champions League and international experience.'
Technical director Terry Burton added: 'When I arrived at Albion the recruitment department flagged Brown up as the man at the top of their wish list.
'It is a fantastic signing because of the quality and the potential of the player.
Meanwhile, Filipe Luis has penned a three-year deal with Chelsea to complete his transfer from Atletico Madrid for an initial fee of around £16million.
The 28-year-old Brazilian will wear the No 5 shirt at Stamford Bridge vacanted by Michael Essien after his January departure, and will join up with Chelsea's squad for their European tour next week.
'This move is a dream come true for me,' Luis said. 'I now have the opportunity to play for Chelsea, and also in the Premier League.
