"Disappointing" - Journalist drops Crystal Palace claim after January move has "fallen through"

Aaron Ramsey is disappointed not to have secured a move to Crystal Palace as he wants to return to London, according to transfer insider Dean Jones.

Ramsey is desperately searching for a new club ahead of deadline day as Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri has revealed the Italian giants' intentions are to offload the midfielder after being deemed surplus to requirements.

According to MailOnline, Palace have walked away from the opportunity to bolster their midfield options by signing Ramsey.

The report suggests the Eagles have decided against pressing ahead with any formal efforts to welcome him to Selhurst Park despite the 31-year-old showing an interest in completing the switch.

It comes after it had originally been reported by Italian media outlet La Gazzetta dello Sport, via Calciomercato, Palace were in pole position to land Ramsey before next Monday's deadline.

Eagles boss Patrick Vieira stoked the fire by describing Ramsey as 'terrific' and revealing 'I like the player' when the speculation surfaced.

But it appears the 71-cap Wales international will not be heading to south London and, according to Calciomercato - via Football Italia - Juventus are becoming irritated with Ramsey.

The report reveals the Serie A heavyweights are frustrated as the central midfielder has turned down potential moves to Newcastle United, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Burnley and a couple of Spanish clubs.

Jones has claimed Ramsey is keen to seal a return to London after enjoying a fruitful long-term spell on the books of Arsenal before heading to Juventus.

As a result, the transfer insider feels the failed move to Palace will have come as a blow to the Welshman.
