Peter Odemwingie Turns 39 Today

Peter Osaze Odemwingie (born 15 July 1981) is a retired Nigerian professional footballer who played as a forward and winger.

Odemwingie grew up in Uzbekistan and Russia and began his career with Bendel Insurance in the Nigeria Premier League. He then earned a move to European football with Belgian side La Louvière where he spent three seasons winning the Belgian Cup before moving to French side Lille. Odemwingie scored 26 goals for Lille and also playing in the UEFA Champions League with the side, which prompted Lokomotiv Moscow to pay a fee of £10 million for his services in July 2007. He scored 23 times in three-and-a-half years for Lokomotiv before leaving for English side West Bromwich Albion in August 2010. He scored 30 Premier League goals for the Baggies which won him three Premier League Player of the Month awards. A failed move to Queens Park Rangers saw him fall out of favour with Steve Clarke and he was sold to Cardiff City in August 2013 for a fee of £2.25 million. He spent six months at Cardiff before joining Stoke City in a player-exchange with Kenwyne Jones in January 2014.

Chelsea To Sign Atletico Madrid Goalkeeper Jan Oblak In The Summer

Following up on a story from the Mirror linking Oblak with Chelsea, AS has information from its own sources.

They report that Chelsea will ‘launch an offensive’ for 27-year-old Oblak, one of the world’s best goalkeepers.

Chelsea are willing to pay around €100m for the Slovenian, which would make him the most expensive goalkeeper in history.

That record is held by Chelsea’s own Kepa Arrizabalaga, who could play an important role in the transfer.

In an attempt to make the transfer cheaper, Chelsea would be willing to include Kepa, 25, in the deal for Oblak.

Kepa has failed to live up to his €80m fee at Stamford Bridge but has proven himself in La Liga with Athletic Bilbao.

Atletico Madrid have no interest in selling Oblak, believing they must keep their best players to compete on all fronts.

Oblak renewed his Atleti contract in April 2019 and his release clause went from €100m to €120m.

However, with Chelsea prepared to pay record-breaking money for Oblak, Atletico’s resolve may be tested.
