Mateta's move from Palace to AC Milan called off

Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta's move to AC Milan is off because of issues with his medical.

But Palace are still set to sign Wolves forward Jorgen Strand Larsen in a £48m deal before Monday's 19:00 GMT transfer deadline.

France forward Mateta, who has been nursing a knee issue, had an initial medical examination on Sunday followed by additional tests on Monday.

The Italian club have now pulled out of the £30m deal for the 28-year-old, who wants to leave Selhurst Park.

Palace had been unwilling to let him go without having a replacement, but agreed a deal for Strand Larsen and granted Mateta permission to have an initial medical in London before flying to Milan.
