Jeremie Aliadiere was denied a deadline-day move to Fulham Football Club.

The French striker was all set to join the Cottagers on an initial four-month loan deal, as Roy Hodgson looked to bolster his attacking options for the remainder of the season.

However, it is being reported in the Evening Gazette that Gareth Southgate was forced to pull the plug on the deal at the last minute, due to his failure to sign a replacement.

The Middlesbrough manager had hoped to lure Rob Hulse to the Riverside Stadium, but he was reluctant to meet the £4million asking price set by Derby County.
