West Bromwich Albion midfielder James Morrison has urged Peter Odemwingie to stay at the Hawthorns.
The Nigerian international is currently holding talks with Albion over a new deal and midfielder Morrison is optimistic Odemwingie will stay - but believes it is vital any doubts in that direction are removed.
He said: 'It is crucial that we establish Peter's future 100 per cent. Look at the contribution he made last season. One of the reasons we stayed in the Premier League was his goals.
"It's fair to say if we take that out of the team, we might have struggled (to stay up).
"Fingers crossed, he signs a new contract. He had a great season and I think he wants to prove that was not a one-off."
