Everton get worst news possible as Folarin Balogun medical results in
Folarin Balogun's move to Everton is in danger of collapse after his medical.
The American looked set to move to the Hill Dickinson Stadium after a £40million deal was agreed with Monaco.
He had travelled to Merseyside to undergo a medical after personal terms were agreed.
There were doubts emerging from France, with Iliman Ndiaye's proposed move to Manchester City still not being announced.
However, it could be a different issue entirely that sinks the potential deadline day deal after the tests.

What have Folarin Balogun's medical tests revealed for Everton?
The deal could fall apart due to a failed medical, which would be a nightmare for the Blues.
RMC Sport journalist Fabrice Hawkins claimed on Tuesday that the deal could collapse as a result.
Fabrizio Romano followed that with a report that the move was in jeopardy
He stated that Everton's medical staff believe that he is not fully fit, but Monaco and the player's entourage insist there is no issues.
It could be a devastating end to the window for the Blues with the latest drama that is unfolding.
Why no Balogun move would be a terrible failure for Everton
Everton have put all their eggs in the Balogun basket, in their search for a new striker.
They dismissed a potential return for Richarlison, in order to sign the United States star
If they fail to sign him, it leaves just Thierno Barry as the only registered striker in the squad.
That could be a disaster for Moyes as he tries to qualify for Europe, as there is no evidence that Barry can handle the burden by himself, nor should he be expected to.
The recruitment team will have failed the manager desperately if the deal does not go through.
They simply can't afford to have Barry as the only option, and there is no one ready to step up from the academy into the squad.
