Stoke City manager Mark Hughes is planning to deploy man-of-the-moment Peter Odemwingie as a central striker after seeing his goals transform Stoke City’s season.
Odemwingie netted for a third consecutive game to bag the winning goal in Saturday’s 1-0 success over Hull, a victory which catapults Stoke to 40 points with half-a-dozen games of their Premier League campaign remaining.
The 32-year-old Nigerian has played wide since joining Stoke from Cardiff City in January, but Hughes says a central role is on the cards… eventually.
The 32-year-old, who moved to the Britannia Stadium from Cardiff City in January, has netted in three consecutive Premier League games as the Potters have climbed to 10th in the table.
A five-game unbeaten run has seen Hughes’ side allay any outside fears of relegation as a 1-0 win at home to Hull City, in which Odemwingie scored the only goal, moved them to the 40-point mark.
Odemwingie has starred for Stoke in the recent victories, and Hughes says he always had faith in the Nigerian’s abilities.
