Peter Odemwingie could be set for a return to Ligue 1, with Olympique de Marseille reportedly in talks with Stoke City to secure the Nigerian striker on a loan deal. According to **L’Equipe**, negotiations are ongoing and could be concluded within hours, as the transfer window closes at midnight this Monday.
Odemwingie, who previously played for Lille between 2004 and 2007, is well acquainted with French football and would bring experience and goal-scoring ability to Marseille. The club is actively seeking a replacement for Michy Batshuayi, who recently departed, and has so far been unsuccessful in pursuing Yoan Gouffran and Maxi Lopes.
With the clock ticking, OM must act fast to finalize Odemwingie’s loan. If successful, the striker would be expected to immediately bolster Marseille’s attacking options as the Ligue 1 season continues.
