Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew is chasing West Bromwich Albion attacker Peter Odemwingie.<i> The Sun</i> says Pardew is lining up Odemwingie as Demba Ba&rsquo;s replacement.<br /><br />Ba plays for Newcastle tonight for the first time since trying to seal his dream move to Chelsea. Talks were on-going last night and Toon boss Pardew is hoping to land Odemwingie for &pound;3million.<br /><br />The Nigerian, 31, has 18 months left on his deal and wants to quit Albion. He almost moved to the cash-rich Qatari League last summer but the Baggies were unable to strike a deal.<br /><br />Albion chiefs are keen to do business now rather than see his value plummet as he nears the end of his contract.<br /><b><br />-Thanks to Tribalfootball.com</b><br /><br /><i>Photo Credit: thefootballsocial.co.uk</i><br /><br />
