Brentford's move for Everton forward Conor McAleny has fallen through.

The 21-year-old made four appearances for the Bees earlier this season, only to have his loan spell at Griffin Park cut short after suffering a horrific leg break against Walsall back in August.

However, McAleny is back to fitness after a long spell on the sidelines and Brentford had hoped to re-sign the Liverpool-born youngster before the loan window closes on Thursday.

But Get West London understand the deal to bring the attacker back to TW8 is now dead in the water.
