Ideye targets Arsenal’s fall in Champions league

In from Nifemi Daniel …
Super Eagles and Olympiacos of Greece striker, Brown Ideye, has insisted he does not have anything to prove, when he returns to England with the Greek club, to face Arsenal in the Champions League on Tuesday.
The 26-year-old spent last season at West Brom following a club record move, but failed to shine in the Premier League.
“I do not feel I have anything to prove to people in England when I return to play against Arsenal, and I just want to repay the faith shown in me by Olympiakos by scoring the goals to help them achieve success this season,” Ideye told ESPN FC.
“I am really looking forward to the game against Arsenal at the Emirates and returning to England. I never played against Arsenal when I was at West Brom and it will be a great test to come up against such a strong team as Arsenal.

“There is a lot at stake as both teams lost their opening games in the group and we are hoping we can get a positive result in London.”
Olympiacos have won all their league matches this season and Ideye is optimistic he can achieve success with the club.
He said: “Playing in the Champions League was also one of the main attractions to leave West Brom for Olympiakos as it is the best competition you can play in against the best players.
“I really enjoyed my time at West Brom and playing in the Premier League, and although things did not work out as planned, I have no regrets.”
