Former Premier League striker Peter Odemwingie has warned Sky Sports, West Bromwich Albion and Queens Park Rangers that he is considering legal action over his infamous failed transfer on deadline day in 2013. Odemwingie was at the centre of one of the most bizarre deadline day stories of all time when he was interviewed by reporters from through his car window outside QPR's Loftus Road stadium, believing he had completed a move to the London club. It later emerged that QPR and West Brom, Odemwingie's club at the time, had failed to agree a transfer fee for the Nigerian striker and the proposed move collapsed just minutes before the 11pm deadline, ultimately sending him back to the Baggies. Odemwingie was subsequently disciplined by West Brom for his actions and criticised by the club's then-chairman Jeremy Peace, who described his conduct as 'wholly unprofessional'. The incident has since been repeatedly retold and replayed by media outlets, becoming a lasting symbol of the chaos and drama of deadline day. Footage of his infamous interview did the rounds again on Sky Sports News ahead of Tuesday night's deadline, prompting Odemwingie to launch an attack on the broadcaster in a video on Instagram. #Odemwingie #WestBrom #SkySports #QPR
