Newcastle’s boss, Alan Pardew, is reported to be interested in Nigerian international, Peter Odemwingie, in case Demba Ba leaves this month. According to The Sun(London), Newcastle wants Odemwingie to replace Senegalese striker, Ba, who has sparked off interest from a number of clubs including Chelsea.

It’s not the first time Newcastle has been linked with the striker, but at 31, he’s the same age as compatriot, Shola Ameobi, and Peter hardly fits the profile of players Newcastle would want to sign in January. The Sun reported that talks were ongoing with West Brom about Osaze as it seems they may be willing to sell the Nigerian star, who joined West Brom in 2010 from Russian club, Lokomotiv Moscow, and before that he played at Lille with both Yohan Cabaye and Mathieu Debuchy.

Odemwinge has a decent record at West Brom having appeared 73 times for them with 30 goals, and this season, while he’s only appeared nine times, he’s still managed to score four goals. And he’s certainly a skillful player who can play as an out and out striker or on one of the wings, so he would fit into Newcastle’s style of play fairly easily. Osaze has played for Nigeria 55 times with nine goals, but has not been included in Nigeria’s squad for the African Cup of Nations, which will start in South Africa later this month.

Good buy 4d toons

ELgordo: 4th and that's my best number

You're actually 5th. Overjoblessness dey worry una.

Osaze has seen his best days. He's on a fast decline. He should come over to Dolphins or Kwara United and retire in patriotic peace.

*speechless*

If its true I'm happy for Newcastle and Osaze. He may be ass but thats off pitch, on pitch he is a force

Bad choice. Because Osaze is simply not as good as Demba Ba as can be seen by the goals scored by both last EPL season.

OSAZE CARRY ON

d pessimist hav started again. The don't c anythin gud in d ability of any nigerian. U pple rediculed d home lads yesterday. They proved u pple wrong. Now is d turn of osaze, u guys hav started again. Osaze wil do well wit newcastle weda u pple like it or not.one time nigeria best player, Epl best player of d month in 3 different occasion. One of d most commited super eagle player. He playd at d olympics an took silver even when ur so calld mikel obi dumped nigeria. Osaze records is dia 4 all d pessimistic guys 2 c. Infact, dis suppose 2 b d capt. Of nigeria. We must learn 2 love our own my fellow armchair critics of NL.

Papiss Cisse is fantastic. I actually prefer him to Demba Ba. Pardew should get a strike partner for him.
