A South African company which produces Cintrion Energy drink is set to make them ambassadors of the drink, knowing fully well they are masters in their chosen professions. The deal lands both Miss Nnaji and Osaze N50m each.

Osaze who has scored four times this season for his English Premier League club, West Brom is valued at £8million by the club amid interest from Fulham and West Ham.

Promotion hopefuls West Ham are the latest club to enquire about the Nigerian striker, who was an unused substitute in the weekend win at Stoke.

Odemwingie has slipped down the pecking order at the Hawthorns after failing to repeat his form from last season when he bagged 15 Premier League goals.

But the forward’s price tag means he is likely to remain at Albion until the summer at least.

Albion boss Roy Hodgson has insisted Odemwingie is not for sale after only penning a new £35,000-a-week contract in August.
