Osaze Insists On EPL Stay

[Folami David]

West Bromwich Albion striker Peter Odemwingie has ruled out a move abroad and is ready to stay at The Hawthorns if he cannot seal a Premier League move.
.
Albion have rejected three bids from the Premier League and the Nigeria international will resist any transfer out of the top flight despite continued interest from Dubai-based club Al Nasr.
.
Odemwingie is ready to leave the Baggies but the Hawthorns hierarchy have turned down three bids of around £1.5m plus add-ons from English top-flight clubs including West Ham and Fulham.
.
Al Nasr have revived their interest in the 32-year-old and held fresh talks with the Baggies in recent days, although reports of an increased bid of £1.5m from the Middle East outfit are premature. They previously had an £850,000 offer rejected out of hand.
.
However, Odemwingie will fight any attempt by the Baggies to offload him to a foreign club or a Championship side and is intent on staying in the English top flight.
.
That leaves Baggies bosses with four weeks to agree a deal with a Premier League club before the transfer window closes or be left with the prospect of the forward – who has been frozen out of the first team picture since the start of pre-season – remaining on their wage bill.
.
Odemwingie has been in open dispute with the Baggies since submitting a transfer request in January.
.
Meanwhile,West Bromwich Albion deny receiving a new offer from Al Nasr for Peter Odemwingie.
.
It has been wrongly reported that the Dubai club have offered £1.5million after a £850,000 deal was rejected last month.
.
It is believed that Albion value the Nigeria international at £2million, says the Birmingham Mail.
.
The two clubs are in talks again but, as yet, no improved bid has yet been forthcoming.

Osaze Odemwingie is a confused man I beg everyone's pardon....I don't think he knows what he is doing anymore. I no longer get him....
