Ghana striker Raphael Dwamena will not play in the English Premier League this season as he has failed a medical at Brighton Hove & Albion.
All was set for Dwamena to complete his dream move to arguably the best league in the world for £10million from Swiss side FC Zurich, but Brighton have pulled out of the agreement after his medical tests on Friday.
The 21-year-old also agreed personal terms with the club and was given clearance to travel to the UK for his medical.
But following his medical Brighton released a statement confirming their withdrawal from the transfer.
The statement said: ‘Brighton & Hove Albion have withdrawn from the potential transfer of Raphael Dwamena, after the player failed the club's medical.
‘Albion had previously agreed terms with both Dwamena and FC Zurich over a potential deal for the 21-year-old, which would have been subject to a UK work permit.
‘The club would like to wish Raphael the very best for the future, as he returns to FC Zurich.’
This will come as huge blow for Dwamena, who has bagged 14 goals in total for Zurich since joining from Austrian club Lustenau.
He scored a brace on his Black Stars debut against Ethiopia in June.
For the Seagulls, It is the second time this summer they have pulled out of a deal due to a player failing a medical.
