Odemwingie has been brought in from the cold to be included in Nigeria’s provisional 30-man party for Brazil.
Former Arsenal star, Kanu was quoted by tribalfootball.com as saying:
“We need everybody, the team is open. Odemwingie is a great player, he has great qualities and we are happy that he is flying, that is what we need.
“That is why he has been called, we want him to do the same in the World Cup and (manager) Stephen Keshi knows that.
“Right now, when I talk to him, I will tell him he will make a mark, he will prove a lot of people wrong and make sure he does something special in the World Cup,” he said.
The Eagles will play Scotland at Craven Cottage in a pre-World Cup friendly on Wednesday.
