Osaze Set For Stoke Swap Deal

Nigeria striker Osaze Odemwingie is set to end his uncertain future at Cardiff City with a swap move to Stoke City.  In the summer, 32-year-old Osaze signed a three-year contract worth about 2.5 million Naira after a troubled time at West Bromwich Albion

It is now believed the Nigeria international could be part of a swap deal that would see Stoke striker Kenwyne Jones move in the opposite direction, according to The Mirror.

He has featured in 15 matches and scored in two goals for the Welsh club.


Jones has been unsettled at Stoke and was recently fined two weeks’ wages for refusing to play against Liverpool.

Osaze is angling for more playing time as he hopes to make Nigeria final squad to the World Cup in Brazil in June.

Both Stoke and Cardiff are battling for survival in the English Premier League.

Cardiff are bottom of the 20-club EPL with 18 points from 22 matches, while Stoke are in 14th place with 22 points.
