Clarke: striker going nowhere

Last updated : 19 July 2012 By Wba-mad Editor

Steve Clarke has ruled out Peter Odemwingie being sold this summer.

The Baggies head coach insists Albion want to keep hold of their star striker and have no intention on cashing in on the Nigerian international.

Albion earlier this week turned down a bid from Qatari club Al-Gharafa whilst also playing down a fall-out between Clarke and the striker.

“I believe there has been a bid for Peter but we don’t want to sell our best players and Peter knows the situation.

“We have had lots of amicable discussions but no bust-up and I want to make that very clear.

“The situation is that we want Peter and all our good players to stay at the club and that hasn’t changed from the minute I got the job. That’s a discussion for Peter but every discussion had between Peter, Dan Ashworth  and myself has been very amicable.”
