Odemwingie ignoring speculation for West Brom survival

West Bromwich Albion striker Peter Odemwingie is ignoring reported interest from Newcastle and Juventus to concentrate on the Baggies remaining in the top flight. The Nigeria international has attracted interest after netting 12 league goals for Albion, the latest of which came in the 3-1 defeat against Chelsea at the weekend.

However, the 29 year old insists he is interested only in steering West Brom, who are six points above the drop zone, towards safety.

"My focus is to save West Brom," Odemwingie said.

"I scored at the weekend but we lost - that is not good. The most important thing is to beat relegation and nothing else."
