Moussa Dembele's move from Fulham to Tottenham Hotspur has collapsed.
The young forward, who has also been attracting attention from Monaco and Juventus, had been set to sign for Mauricio Pochettino's side this month and then be loaned back to Fulham to finish the season.
The Cottagers were desperate to keep hold of Dembele until the end of the campaign as they bid to stay clear of relegation worries in the Championship.
And Dembele now looks certain to remain at Fulham after his move to Spurs collapsed, according to the Press Association.
Spurs were unable to agree terms with Fulham and the deal is now off.

Dembele's contract with Fulham expires at the end of the season and he is expected to move on from Craven Cottage in the summer.
It remains to be seen whether Spurs will try to resurrect the transfer in the dying hours of the window, or instead focus on other targets.
