Jordan Lukaku's proposed move to Newcastle United has fallen through over concerns about the Belgian's fitness.
The brother of Manchester United striker, Romelu Lukaku, was expected to sign on loan at St. James' Park until the end of the season, but on Friday night, the club confirmed the deal had fallen through.
"Newcastle United can confirm that Jordan Lukaku will not be joining the club," the club said in a statement.
"The Belgian defender was on Tyneside on Friday after being given permission to travel by his current club, SS Lazio.
"It has now been decided that a loan deal will not be pursued and the player will return to Rome."
