Osaze Odemwingie asks for transfer

West Brom have rejected a transfer request from Peter
Odemwingie.
QPR had a bid for the striker turned down earlier this
month, though it was understood Odemwingie wanted
the opportunity to discuss a move.
The 31-year-old has now put in writing his wish to leave
the Hawthorns two-and-a-half years after his arrival
from Lokomotiv Moscow, but his request has been
turned down by the Premier League club.
Albion's sporting and technical director Richard Garlick
said: "Peter is hugely popular with our supporters and
it is disappointing that he has decided to hand in a
transfer request.
"It was immediately turned down and has done nothing
to change our stance during January. Peter is under
contract until the summer of 2014 and we have no
need or desire to sell our core players.
"We want to keep the squad intact to enable us to build
on an encouraging first six months of the season."
Odemwingie top-scored for Albion last season, but his
equaliser against Aston Villa last weekend was his first goal in 10 games.
