Victor Anichebe admits Nigeria teammate Peter Odemwingie convinced him about moving to West Bromwich Albion.
Odemwingie finally ended his Hawthorns nightmare on Monday with a £2.5m transfer to Cardiff after a major bust-up with Baggies officials, just as Anichebe completed a move that could cost £6m.
The 25-year-old said: "I've spoken to Peter in the past and, no matter what people say about him, he has always had good words to say about the club
"He has always said what a good club it is - a family club. Hopefully I can help the club by playing well for them and I'm happy to be here."
