The Guardian reports that Folarin Balogun withdrew from a proposed transfer to Everton after concerns over how the club handled his medical. Monaco chief executive Thiago Scuro said the move was valued at £40m and blamed Everton for the breakdown.

Update (Foot Mercato): Foot Mercato reports that Everton failed to sign Folarin Balogun on deadline day, despite completing deals for Jack Grealish and Ainsley Maitland-Niles. The club’s record sale of Iliman Ndiaye is also said to have triggered internal unrest.
