No deal for Lehtinen

Finnish striker Ville Lehtinen has ended a trial spell with Barnsley after being thwarted in his efforts to earn a contract at Oakwell.
The 27-year-old one-time Sheffield United forward had hoped to feature in a midweek reserve team game, but the Tykes' clash with Port Vale was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.
Caretaker boss Simon Davey told the club's official website: "We will not be taking things any further with Ville.
"We could not watch him in a game situation because of the postponement, so we have had to make an assessment based on two or three training sessions.
"Unfortunately it is not something we will be taking any further interest in."
