Cuisance denies failing Leeds medical at Marseille unveiling

New Marseille signing Michael Cuisance has denied reports that problems with his medical led to a move to Leeds United falling through.

Cuisance had looked set for Elland Road after Leeds struck a deal worth £18 million (€20m/$23m) with Bayern Munich, which included a buyback clause for the Bavarian giants.

But the deal collapsed following the 21-year-old's arrival in England last week, despite agreeing a contract with the Premier League newcomers that would have seen him sign until 2025, and he subsequently agreed a switch to Ligue 1 with Marseille on a one-year loan move.
