Former Nigerian striker Peter Odemwingie has revisited the 2013 transfer deadline day incident involving West Bromwich Albion and Queens Park Rangers (QPR). Odemwingie initially addressed the saga by claiming the media coverage was misunderstood, stating that the transfer collapsed because West Brom introduced a late condition regarding a player exchange. He denied that his presence at Loftus Road was a deliberate spectacle, calling such claims “stupid.”

Following these reflections, Odemwingie announced intentions to pursue legal action against Sky Sports, West Bromwich Albion, and QPR. He accused Sky Sports of “deliberate exploitation” and “wickedness” for repeatedly replaying footage of the incident. Odemwingie maintained that he traveled to the stadium under the impression from his agent that the deal was finalized, and he criticized QPR for auctioning a shirt prepared for his arrival.
