Arsenal blasted for unexpected transfer call: "It's a major, major disappointment"

Should the Biereth deal go through, he will be the second forward Wednesday have signed on loan this month following the addition of Ike Ugbo. The 25-year-old spent the first half of the season on loan at Cardiff, where he scored four goals in 22 games, before being recalled by Troyes so that he could join Wednesday.

"It is clear what the coach has brought to this team, I spoke to him and had a good feeling that he can help me and I can help the team," Ugbo said. "It's important you have the right feeling when it comes to the coach, I am still learning the game and trying to develop myself and am excited by what he showed me.

Motherwell boss Stuart Kettlewell

Motherwell boss Stuart Kettlewell said Arsenal's decision to recall Biereth was a "major disappointment 

"I'm ready to go straight away, I have shown what I can do in this league and the club have seen what I can bring to this team. We can all see the direction the team is going in and come the end of the season I don’t see the league position being a problem.

"The boys have showed what they can do against some very good teams in this division and we want to carry that on this weekend." Wednesday currently sit 22nd in the league, four points from safety, and are set to host Coventry on Saturday.

Coventry are unbeaten in their last nine games across all competitions and are firmly in the promotion hunt, with Mark Robins' side currently in a play-off position.
