Arsene Wenger flies to Rome on transfer deadline day to take part in charity match

  • Arsenal attempting to sign a striker on final day of the window
  • But Gunners boss is booked for charity match in Italy
  • Andrea Pirlo and Gianluigi Buffon will also appear in Match for Peace 
Arsene Wenger will struggle to be involved in any late-night transfer bids on deadline day, because he is taking part in a charity event in Rome.
Pictures of the Gunners boss at Heathrow airport have emerged on twitter, sparking excitement among Arsenal fans about a potential new signing.
But Sportsmail can reveal that Wenger is actually booked to referee in the 'Match for Peace', alongside players such as Leo Messi, Andrea Pirlo and Ronaldinho, at Roma's Stadio Olimpico on Monday night.
The event is to promote inter-religious peace through sporting engagement, and has attracted several global superstars.
However, Arsenal are still attempting to sign players before the transfer deadline passes on Monday night. 
The club missed out on Monaco striker Radamel Falcao to Manchester United and Chelsea's new signing Loic Remy from QPR, but are still hopeful of bringing in cover for injured forward Olivier Giroud.
