Peter Odemwingie's talks regarding a new contract at West Brom have stalled, with Harry Redknapp reportedly monitoring his situation.[LNB] The Nigeria international enjoyed an impressive debut season in the Premier League last term and finished as the Baggies' top scorer.[LNB]His exploits have seen the striker linked with several clubs during the summer and Wigan Athletic had a £1.5million bid rejected before the weekend.[LNB]Baggies boss Roy Hodgson laughed off the size of the Latics' offer and confirmed he is hoping to secure Odemwingie on a new deal at The Hawthorns, where he is still under contract for the next two years.[LNB]However, it is understood those negotiations have reached an impasse, with Newcastle and Spurs also showing an interest in the 30-year-old.[LNB]Odemwingie missed West Brom's opening game of the season against Manchester United on Sunday through injury and Hodgson insisted after the 2-1 defeat that the former Lokomotiv Moscow forward is not for sale.[LNB]But Monday's papers have suggested Tottenham chief Redknapp may put a bid on the table if Peter Crouch leaves White Hart Lane in this window.
