“I don’t think Odemwingie will be here next season” – Clarke indicates strik


Steve Clarke has said that Peter Odemwingie, might not be at the club next season.

The Nigerian striker has endured a troubled period at the Hawthorns, after he tried to force a move to Queens Park Rangers in January. The incident degenerated, after the 31-year-old took to Twitter to insult the club as well as national team officials, incurring severals fines in the process.

He was used as a substitute last weekend, as West Brom lost 4-0 to Norwich City and his manager has suggested he might be off in the summer.

“His future will be decided in the summer. I don’t think he’ll be here next season,” Clarke was quoted by BBC Sport.

“I’ve stuck by him because he’s talented and I need as many talented players as I can get.

“I think over the last four months I’ve done as much I can to put up with it.

“To be honest over the last four months he hasn’t really played for my side. He’s been in and around the place but his contribution since January has been very, very little.

“The disappointment for me is that before January, when he was fit and available, I think he played over 70% of the games, produced good performances and scored goals.

“And in the second half of the season I haven’t had that player, so that’s the disappointing thing for me as a coach,” concluded Clarke.
