Peter Osaze Odemwingie, is set to sign a year-deal with English League One side, Bolton Wandererers. The 35-year-old Former Super Eagles forward has been without a club since leaving Stoke City in the summer, having spent the last season on loan at Bristol City.

35 year old Super Eagles striker Peter Osaze Odemwingie has joked of his infamous failed move to QPR football club in 2013 where he drove 150miles to QPR's training ground and appeared on television claiming he was hopeful a deal between then club West Brom and QPR would go ahead.

We cannot change him, he will be number one for the next game . Source : BreakingTimes
