West Brom striker Odemwingie not interested in Anzhi move

West Bromwich Albion striker Peter Odemwingie says he's not thinking about a move to Anzhi.

The Nigeria international has been linked with Anzhi in January.

"Here (Russia) Mahachkala are likened to Chelsea and they are often called a Chelsea clone," he told Sovsport.ru.

"It is true that there are many similarities - they both have millionaire owners and great ambition.

"They have been forming a great squad at Anzhi. They have signed (Samuel) Eto'o, (Yuri) Zhirkov and (Balazs) Dzsudzsak.

"I wouldn't be surprised if this team goes on to have success in the Champions League.

"I doubt that I would accept an offer from Anzhi if I was to receive one. At the moment I like the English Premier League. In the future, we will see."
