Agent reveals West Brom talks with top scorer Odemwingie

West Bromwich Albion are keen to begin discussions with leading scorer Peter Odemwingie over a new contract, according to the player's agent. The Nigerian international capped his debut season with the Baggies by netting 15 goals in the Barclays Premier League.

Odemwingie has one year remaining of his current deal plus the option of a further 12 months, but Albion want to award him an improved deal for his efforts.

His agent David Omigie told the Wolverhampton Express and Star: "Talks should take place any time from now.

"We are just waiting to hear from the club but things should start any moment now, hopefully in the next week or so.

"Peter is okay. He is very happy at West Brom and he will consider whatever is put on the table by them.

"No-one can say for sure what will happen in the future and things will become clearer in the days and weeks ahead."

The 29 year old was also named the Premier League's African Player of the Season at the inaugural Best of Africa Awards.
