West Brom striker, Osaze Odemwingie today picked up the Barclays Player-of-the-Month award for April.

The Nigeria international then had a hand in all three of Albion’s goals, in a thrilling 3-2 win against Sunderland at the Stadium of Light, scoring one and setting up two.
His outstanding form continued with goals against Chelsea and Tottenham, and he rounded off the month by firing the equaliser in a 2-1 derby victory over Villa, at The Hawthorns - becoming the first-ever Baggies player to score in four successive Premier League games.
The decision was made by the Barclays Awards Panel, which includes representatives from football’s governing bodies, the media and fans.
