Odemwingie, 29, looks poised to join Roberto Di Matteo's side from Lokomotiv Moscow despite interest from Greek club Panathinaikos.

"Most likely I will join on Tuesday," Odemwingie said. "I've already signed a contract. They have been left to negotiate among themselves and then my dream of playing in the English Premier League will come true.

"I opted for West Brom because for a long time I've wanted to play in England. But I thank Panathinaikos for their interest. They are a big club."

Odemwingie made two appearances at the World Cup finals as Nigeria exited at the group stage. He joined Lokomotiv from Lille in 2007.
