Peter Odemwingie: West Brom reject transfer request from striker West Brom have rejected a formal transfer request from Peter Odemwingie. Last week, the Baggies turned down an offer of around £3m from Queens Park Rangers for the 31-year-old Nigerian international striker. Odemwingie's request was described as "disappointing" by West Brom technical director Richard Garlick. "It was immediately turned down and has done nothing to change our stance during January," Garlick told West Brom's official website . Peter is hugely popular with our supporters and it is disappointing that he has decided to hand in a transfer request. Peter is under contract until the summer of 2014 and we have no need or desire to sell our core players," Garlick added. We want to keep the squad intact to enable us to build on an encouraging first six months of the season.
