Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang: Piers Morgan raged at Arsenal on Twitter during Barcelona saga

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was at the centre of all the drama on Deadline Day this week.

Having been stripped of the Arsenal captaincy and effectively exiled by Mikel Arteta, it seemed inevitable that the Gabon international would seek pasture news in the January transfer window.

But as we all know, things are never that simple in football and what followed was a topsy-turvy 24 hours where a potential Barcelona move flitted between being on and off every 10 seconds.

In fact, at one point, reports were even suggesting that Aubameyang's switch to the Camp Nou had completely fallen through and that his flight to Spain was merely a family holiday.

However, before the witty comparisons between Peter Odemwingie pulling up at Queens Park Rangers gathered too much momentum, Aubameyang's Arsenal escape looked to be back on.

And just a few minutes after the official deadline, Fabrizio Romano tweeted to confirm that the 32-year-old's link-up with the Blaugrana had been given his 'here we go' seal of approval.

All in all, it made for a hectic day where Aubameyang's name was rallied, rebounded and ricocheted across every limb of the media until a Barcelona move looked to be confirmed beyond dispute.

And throughout all the undulations of the Aubameyang saga on Monday, few people were more vocal than Arsenal fan and television presenter Piers Morgan who was very persistent on Twitter.

The ever-opinionated Morgan wasn't afraid to make his stance clear about Arsenal's most recent Premier League Golden Boot winner leaving the club even when it looked like he might stay.

In fact, Morgan's Twitter activity across the day made for a consistent and sustained criticism of both Arsenal and Arteta's handling of the situation, which naturally
