West Bromwich Albion manager Steve Clarke has said that the club have rejected a foreign bid for striker Peter Odemwingie.

Clarke would like to keep his top scorer at the Hawthorns but he is not surprised by the interest shown in the striker.

"There was one bid came in for Peter. It wasn't from an English club and we turned it down, so I think that says enough," he said.

"I think you're always going to have speculation about your good players.

"It wouldn't be football if you didn't have speculation, especially over the summer and the way the transfer window is now. The window's open, so your good players are going to be linked with other clubs."

Odemwingie joined the Baggies from Lokomotiv Moscow in 2010.
