West
Bromwich Albion’s Nigerian forward, Osaze Odemwingie has declared his
readiness to snub any interest from Juventus and stick with the Baggies.

For that to happen
however, the Nigerian international is demanding that West Brom retain
their English Premier League status for another season, and that he be
offered a new contract at the Hawthorns.

Odemwingie has
enjoyed an impressive debut season in the English top flight division,
scoring an impressive 13 goals in 26 starts following his summer
transfer from Russia’s Lokomotiv Moscow.

His performances
for the modest Baggies have caught the attention of a host of top
clubs, both in England and elsewhere across Europe.

Tottenham manager,
Harry Redknapp is reportedly keen on bringing the Nigerian to White
Hart Lane in a bid to bolster his attack for next season’s campaign,
but Italian giants Juventus are most pundits’ favourites to secure the
signature of the former player of French club side, Lille.

West Brom are
however determined to keep the 29-year-old, and are ready to open
negotiations with him over a new deal – something Odemwingie is more
than happy to do, provided the Baggies remain in the Premier League
come the end of the season.

Happy to stay

“I’ve heard a lot
recently about Juventus being interested, but I try not to pay too much
attention to it,” Odemwingie said. “My intention is to continue playing
in England and if West Brom is not relegated I’m only too happy to stay.

West Brom are currently six points clear of relegation with four games remaining in the Premier League season.

“The 13 goals I
have scored in my first year in England is a decent result although I
am aiming for more. Ideally, I would like to finish with at least 15,”
he continued.

He added: “It’s likely that in the summer the management will offer me a new contract on better terms in the summer.”
