Peter Odemwingie provides a guide to transfer deadline day
Arsenal forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has done his best impression of Peter Odemwingie on transfer deadline day. Barcelona are keen on signing Aubameyang before tonight's deadline. The player arrived in Barcelona on Monday but all may not be as it seems.

On the failed move, Odemwingie has since said: "Everything seemed agreed, but actually I didn't know that one of the terms was that they [West Brom] were getting Hoilett and [if I had known that] I would have never driven to London.
"Why would I have driven to London in bad weather? It was dark already, it was winter and I had just had a new born, who was one week old.
"Why would I leave my wife and my new-born kid to drive to London and wait outside?"
There is no suggestion yet that Aubameyang's move to Barca will fall through in similar circumstances.
