Kickoff (Cape Town)
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.
