Former Liverpool defender Steven Caulker, who became his teammate at Cardiff Arms Park, reveals that he asked Odemwingie about the infamous transfer deadline day saga.
Osaze seemingly opened up to him, and Caulker, in speaking to Sky Sports, narrated what happened on the day.
According to him, Osaze said that he was misinformed by his agents.
"When he arrived I was desperate to ask him, but I thought I'd let him settle in,” Caulkers said, per the Sun.
"One of the nicest men I've ever met—and two weeks in, I asked him, Whatever happened at QPR? Because it doesn't fit what I'm seeing of you as a character here and what I'm seeing there. What happened?”
