Crystal Palace are said to be interested in Osaze Odemwingie with
the club offering a bid in the region of £1.5m for the Nigerian, though
West Bromwich want a fee close to £2.5m (a difference of about
N250m). West Bromwich Albion are keen to offload the Nigeria
forward, who fell out of favour after a proposed move to Queens Park
Rangers collapsed in January, although the Midlands club are hoping for a
fee closer to £2.5m and would prefer to sell him overseas, The Guardian
of London reported on Thursday.
It is understood that Odemwingie's preference would be to remain in
the Premier League, with Palace representing the best chance of that
happening. The Fulham manager, Martin Jol, had considered trying to
bring Odemwingie to Craven Cottage but it seems unlikely that his
interest will translate into a formal offer.
Palace will almost certainly have to raise their bid for Odemwingie for Albion to do business, although with the transfer in everyone's best interests, it is likely a compromise will be reached.
The 31-year-old, who has 12 months remaining on his contract at The Hawthorns, has no future with Albion. He has been made to change in a separate dressing room to the rest of Albion's first-team squad while his training is restricted to individual work, away from the rest of the players.
