Odemwingie: Striker has bagged 12 Premier League goals in debut campaign<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Peter Odemwingie is unfazed by speculation surrounding his future and is focused on ensuring West Brom’s Premier League survival.<\/p>\n

The Nigeria international has attracted interest after netting 12 league goals for the Baggies, the latest of which came in the 3-1 defeat against Chelsea at the weekend.<\/span><\/p>\n

Odemwingie, 29, has exceeded expectation in his debut season in English football and is reportedly on the radar of Newcastle and Serie A giants Juventus.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, the striker has rebuffed such claims, insisting he is interested only in steering West Brom, who are six points above the drop zone, towards safety.<\/span><\/p>\n

“My focus is to save West Brom,” Odemwingie said.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I scored at the weekend but we lost – that is not good. The most important thing is to beat relegation and nothing else.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Odemwingie was signed by former Baggies boss Roberto Di Matteo last August for an undisclosed fee, believed to be in the region of \u00a32million, from Lokomotiv Moscow.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
