Not as bad as it seems...
Liverpool striker Dominic Solanke's proposed loan move to Crystal Palace is off because of concerns over his fitness.
Palace manager Roy Hodgson confirmed the 21-year-old was a target for the January transfer window on Sunday.
But Solanke has not made a first-team appearance for Liverpool this season and was ruled out of recent matches because of a muscle problem.
Palace need a striker who is available to play immediately.
The Eagles have scored 19 goals in 21 Premier League games this season - only Huddersfield and Newcastle have scored fewer.
After his side's 2-0 victory over Wolves on Wednesday, Hodgson said: "It's a shame in many ways, we did have a genuine interest but the club has made a decision that it's not going to work out on this occasion.
"He's a fine player and I accept in this instance the club has made a decision it wasn't the right moment to do this deal and we will work with what we have."
Huddersfield and Brighton are interested in Solanke, while it is understood there is also interest from the Championship and clubs outside England.
Solanke, a former England youth international who has one senior cap - against Brazil in 2017 - joined Liverpool from Chelsea on a free transfer in 2017.

If we could get him on the right terms and in addition to another striker, he's got the quality we'll be looking for during the next stage. If we could play him this season only for short periods that'd potentially be match winning and he's exactly the sort of player Sir Neil can work with.
I can imagine him linking up with Victor to provide an attacking option comparable to anything in the premiership with time.

More of a reason to sign him up then - with our past record of players signed with fitness issues
