Milan, Italy: Jean-Philippe Mateta's potential deadline-day move to AC Milan from Crystal Palace has fallen through for medical reasons, a source told AFP on Monday, confirming Italian media reports.
The France striker was left out of Palace's squad for their Premier League draw with Nottingham Forest on Sunday, in anticipation of a transfer to Milan.

"AC Milan requested further tests on his knee, and they did not provide the necessary assurances to finalise the transfer," the source told AFP, adding that Mateta was previously slated to sign for Milan at the end of the season.
"The decision had been made to bring his arrival forward by six months. The move has now been abandoned."
