Nigeria: 10 Million Euros for Odemwingie

27 December 2008

Russian club Lokomotiv Moscow have slammed a 10 million Euros fee on Nigeria striker Osaze Odemwingie.

Odemwingie, 27, has publicly expressed a willingness to move to England and is reported to be interesting Everton.

KickOffNigeria.com understands that Everton manager David Moyes spoke to defender Joseph Yobo about the forward and received a glowing report from his long-serving player.

The Toffees subsequently opened discussions with Lokomotiv but have baulked at the Russian club's valuation.

Instead, Everton are hoping to get the forward in on loan.
