Super Eagles and West Bromwich Albion hit man, Victor Anichebe, has been watching Aston Villa’s Christian Benteke and Baggies Romelu Lukaku in an effort to improve his own game
Nicolas Anelka returns after missing the last two games due to injury and spearheads the attack against his former club, with Victor Anichebe (groin) ruled out altogether
Michael Laudrup wants to add another forward to his squad before the close of the transfer window to help ease the goalscoring burden on Michu and new signing, Wifried Bony
The Nigerian international signed for Chelsea last year from Wigan and the winger often featured for the Blues coming off the bench during the last campaign
It has been wrongly reported that the Dubai club has offered £1.5million after a £850,000 deal was rejected last month
Reports have it that West Brom is sticking to their guns and demanding their full £2 million asking price for rebel striker, Odemwingie, with Al Nasr and Fulham interested in the player
Odemwingie was omitted from WBA’s squad on Sunday for their final game against Manchester United and he is likely to be left out of the Baggies pre-season trip to Austria where they will battle German Bundesliga side, Hannover 96, in a friendly on July 18
The Nigeria international has expressed a desire to leave the club and his relationship with the fans appears to have completely broken down, with the forward roundly booed at The Hawthorns
Odemwingie’s future was pretty much resolved during last Thursday’s meeting involving himself, the PFA chief executive, Gordon Taylor, Albion’s sporting and technical director, Richard Garlick, and the club’s chief executive, Mark Jenkins
