Fulham have seen their hopes of landing PSV Eindhoven striker Ricardo Pepi ended, with the move to Craven Cottage for the American ‘called off’.

Pepi has been a key target for the Cottagers during the winter transfer window and it did seem they had made real progress with a new bid of around €35m.

The offer got to the asking price that PSV Eindhoven had slapped on the attacker’s head and Fulham were said to be facing ‘very tense hours’ in their bid to do the deal in time.
