Osaze Odemwingie’s Fate To Be Determined This Week

2 Min Read

After a trying season and a lot of drama, finally the faith of Osaze Odemwingie’s will be decided this week when he holds talks with West Bromwich Albion officials.

The striker wants to leave this summer and is attracting interest from fellow Premier League rivals and clubs abroad.

Newly-promoted Crystal Palace and Hull City are both keen on his services, but Albion must agree to sell him before a move can be discussed.

A valuation fee – the sticking point in previous failed transfers – also needs to be decided over the next few days in order for Odemwingie’s exit to progress.

In the past, a £5m price tag was placed on him, but the club may be willing to let him leave for less now that he has just 12 months left on his contract.

That would suit the Nigeria international, who turns 32 next month, after he claimed Albion priced him out of a move in the last transfer window.

In January, he almost joined Queens Park Rangers but a highly-publicised breakdown in communication on deadline day scuppered the move.

Albion wanted Junior Hoilett on loan as part of a makeweight in the deal, but the Canadian didn’t fancy a switch to The Hawthorns.
