French football writer Philippe Auclair believes that Morgan Schneiderlin could still be on his way to Arsenal.

On Friday, we reported that the deal for the Southampton defensive midfielder was dead. Off. Lifeless. No longer happening. However, as usual with the transfer window being the cruel mistress that it is, there’s been another twist.

Auclair tweeted late on Friday – because that’s apparently how everyone releases information now – that Schneiderlin actually wants to come to Arsenal and although the deal is still not even close to being done, the Emirates is his preferred destination.

Who knows? He’ll probably end up blind-siding us all and going to Tottenham at this rate.
