LAUDRUP WANT ODEMWINGIE AT SWANSEA

 MICHAEL Laudrup has admitted Peter Odemwingie fits the bill as Swansea City’s search for a striker heads into the final week of the transfer window.

Laudrup watched his team fire a blank at Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday as Roberto Soldado’s penalty condemned Swansea to their second defeat of the season.

And the Swansea manager then hinted that West Brom outcast Odemwingie is a strong option as he bids to add one last player to his new-look squad.

The Evening Post revealed back on June 11 that Laudrup was keen on the 32-year-old Nigerian international, who is surplus to requirements at the Hawthorns.

And there are now suggestions that Swansea have tabled an offer of close to £2 million for Odemwingie, who is also interesting Stoke and Cardiff.

“We want to add one more who can give us that in a certain part of the game or in certain games,” Laudrup said.

“And he (Odemwingie) is a player with pace who knows the league.
