    "It’s absolutely ridiculous we are talking about something outside football. If you close the transfer window before the season starts, everybody can concentrate on football. A lot of clubs get affected during the window and we are not talking about football - which is down to the system."

    West Brom manager Tony Pulis said he spoke to Man City's Chilean boss Manuel Pellegrini - who managed the striker at Malaga - and former Zenit boss Andre Villas-Boas and that Rondon came "highly recommended".

    No Saido Berahino in the West Brom squad. The striker is wanted by Spurs - does this mean they have their man?

    What happened? Leicester remain unbeaten as Riyad Marhez's goal cancels out teenager Dele Ali's header.

    What they said

    Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri: "I am happy, My players have a fantastic spirit. It was an outstanding goal and Riyad Mahrez is a very good player.

    "It is important to maintain our place in the Premier League. Seven points, 33 less, that is important for us."

    Tottenham head coach Mauricio Pochettino: "I am disappointed with the draw. Last game against Stoke we lost a lead and we did it again. We deserved more again but it is a shame.

    "I am angry and disappointed, not frustrated. The mistake we made today is difficult to explain."
