The Nigerian is 35, and won’t want to hang about too much longer. He was released by Stoke City in the summer and had a loan spell at Bristol City last season, scoring twice in seven appearances.
His career may be winding down but he has experience and could be a threat on a short-term deal.
Marouane Chamakh
Moroccan striker Marouane Chamakh was the first player to score in six consecutive Champions League games, and is best known for his spell at Arsenal.

Victor Anichebe
Victor Anichebe, 28, is the youngest of the trio, and is a free agent after being released by West Bromwich Albion.
