West Brom's Peter Odemwinge 'hands in transfer request'

West Bromwich Albion striker Peter Odemwingie has reportedly handed in a transfer request at The Hawthorns.

The 31-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to Queens Park Rangers but the Baggies have been adamant about their desire to keep all their players at the club in this window.

It appears that West Brom's firm stance has prompted Odemwingie to lodge a formal request to leave the Premier League outfit, according to Sky Sports News.

The Baggies currently sit seven points adrift of fourth place in the table, while QPR are struggling at the bottom.
