Newcastle United midfielder Kieron Dyer's proposed move to West Ham United is unlikely to materialise, reports in England said last night.
Dyer appeared set to rejoin a clutch of former Newcastle team-mates at Upton Park after agreeing personal terms. But Hammers boss Alan Curbishley was quoted as saying that the transfer has been "pulled" by Newcastle.
"We agreed a fee with Newcastle and we agreed personal terms with the player," Curbishley told Sky Sports News.
"The player passed a medical, but at the 11th hour, it got pulled by Newcastle for their reasons," Curbishley said.
