Tottenham thought they were closing in on a remarkable deadline day move for Juventus forward Paulo Dybala.
However, according to reliable BBC journalist David Ornstein, the Serie A giants have now pulled the plug on the deal, with the Argentine now expected to remain in Turin for the upcoming campaign.

Read Arsenal verdict
Most Arsenal fans thought their deadline day couldn’t get any better before the breaking news regarding Dybala.
The Gunners themselves look set to secure deals for Kieran Tierney and David Luiz, bolstering two key areas across the back four.
Tierney and Luiz could have come up against Dybala next season, however, following the latest news, Unai Emery will be pleasantly surprised, as he won’t have to find a way to stop the Argentine next season.
Tottenham could still get deals for Giovani Lo Celso and Ryan Sessegnon over the line, but no move for Dybala is certainly a boost for Arsenal.
