Nigeria striker Brown Ideye says he has achieved a "dream" by securing a move to the Premier League with West Brom.
Albion signed Ideye, 25, from Ukrainian side Dynamo Kiev on Friday
for a club-record fee, believed to be around £10m.
The forward - West Brom's fifth summer signing - has signed a three-year deal with the option of another 12 months.

“It's what I really wanted for my career and family”Brown Ideye
"I always wanted to play in the
Premier League. I've always been a massive fan, from the moment I moved
to Europe. It was always a dream," he told BBC Sport.
"It's what I really wanted for my career and family. I
thank God for the opportunity, West Brom and my agents for making it
happen."
West Brom have not disclosed how much they have paid for the striker, but said the fee exceeded the amount they paid Sunderland for Benin international Stephane Sessegnon last September.
However, Ideye, who began his professional career at Ocean Boys in Nigeria, is not worried.
"I'm not sure about the price tag, that's between the clubs," Ideye added.
"The most important thing is putting the ball in the back of the net, help the team and my team-mates and make everyone happy.
"I'm an ambitious person and I hope to do everything possible to convince West Brom and their supporters.
"I have a big enthusiasm and a big will, but undoubtedly my performances on the pitch will judge me."
