Napoli Mulling Over Bid For Odemwingie

According to the Daily Mirror, Napoli have joined the race for Nigeria international Peter Odemwingie, 32.

Rafa Benitez' preferred candidate for the striking role is either Jackson Martinez(FC Porto ) or Alessandro Matri(Juventus).

But the Napoli manager will shift focus to Peter Odemwingie should he fail to land any of the two strikers earlier mentioned.

This summer, the 32 - year - old has been linked to Al Nasr, Fulham, Crystal Palace and most recently Queens Park Rangers, whom he attempted to sign for in the winter transfer market without the approval of the West Brom brass.

Peter Odemwingie has spent the last three seasons with the Baggies, netting 30 goals in 87 English Premier League games.
