JEAN-PHILIPPE MATETA saw his dream deadline day move to AC Milan collapse.

The Crystal Palace striker was left in limbo after the Italian giants pulled out of a £30m move following extra medical checks.

Mateta, 28, has been nursing a knee issue and underwent an initial medical, but AC Milan wanted extra tests and then pulled the plug on deadline day.
