News about Peter Odemwingie

A combination of desperation, emotions, and nostalgia fuels a self-full prophecy of it being the most dramatic day on the transfer calendar. Several scenarios may have made it to this list. Leicester's £22 million transfer for Adrien Silva failed in August 2017 because the paperwork arrived 14 seconds late, while unconcerned Sky Sports reporter Alan Irwin once had an adult toy shoved in his ear while on air. For this one, we've compiled a list of five, some of which are absolute hits and others are more obscure, which really show the true essence of transfer Deadline Day dealings.

It's an image that has been seen before but never forgotten. Hours before the January window closed on February 1, 2013, Peter Odemwingie may have forgotten little of the Sky Sports cameras and fans crowded outside the gates at Loftus Road, awaiting King's Park Rangers. Rather, he was brimming with a sense of excitement as he spoke of the London club's 'new chapter.' 'I think every football fan is going to love if it's going to make it,' the forward told Sky Sports News, who was upbeat over the prospect that his old club, West Bromwich Albion, will thrash out a deal with his new one.'

Harry Redknapp has revealed the truth of his biggest deadline day tragedy, in which Peter Odemwingie arrived at QPR's parking garage but was not allowed to complete his transfer from West Brom. Redknapp ordered the striker to stay out of sight in a hotel near the stadium in the case the contract went through in time. However, although QPR's team frantically sorted out the transfer against the clock, Odemwingie mistook Redknapp's instructions and turned up at Loftus Road instead, greeted by a shortage of cameramen and journalists.
