West Ham and Sunderland target Peter Odemwingie

Peter Odemwingie has emerged as a target for West Ham and Sunderland but the Baggies are under no pressure to sell.

Sunderland and the Hammers are keen to strengthen their attacking options before the transfer window closes and the duo are both keen on Nigerian striker Odemwingie.

The forward remains in the plans of Baggies boss Steve Clarke but Albion could be convinced to sell if their £10million asking price is met.

Reports suggest that West Brom are prepared to cash in on Odemwingie in order to strengthen in other areas, with Romelu Lukaku, Markus Rosenberg, Shane Long and Marc-Antoine Fortune all competing for starting spots in attack at the Hawthorns, while a £10m transfer fee represents good business for a player who is 31-years-old.

Sunderland are expected to complete the signing of Wolves striker Steven Fletcher this week but the Black Cats may still move for Odemwingie regardless, while West Ham boss Sam Allardyce is eager to add to his front line having missed out on Andy Carroll earlier in the summer.
