West Brom rules out sale of Peter Odemwingie

West Brom have no intention of allowing Peter Odemwingie to leave the club during the January transfer window despite interest from QPR.

The Baggies have turned down a £2million bid from QPR for the striker but they are likely to come under pressure to sell before the transfer window closes on January 31.

Odemwingie is reportedly ready to tell the club he wants to leave in order to speak with QPR but West Brom’s new sporting and technical director, Richard Garlick, has warned he will not be allowed to leave.

“Last summer there were supposedly players leaving but we kept hold of most of them,” Garlick said.

“We don’t have to sell any of our players. It’s only on our terms.

“It’s well documented about Peter. We had an offer and we don’t intend to sell any of our players.

“When an offer comes in, we speak to the player out of courtesy. We’ve had that chat with Peter and he knows the situation.”

Garlick insists Steve Clarke is happy with the squad at his disposal and has all but ruled out any new arrivals before the end of the month.

“We’re happy with the squad we’ve got and there are no immediate plans to bring anyone in,” he added.

“If an opportunity presents itself, then we will look at that, but we’re looking more towards the summer.”
