Cardiff City boss Steve Morison has said the club's pursuit of Middlesbrough forward Uche Ikpeazu is off.
The Bluebirds registered their interest in the striker this week, but after Boro insisted they would only be keen to offload him if he was sold, the deal was brought to an abrupt end.
Boro boss Chris Wilder on Friday morning namechecked Cardiff when asked if there had been interest in the player, however Morison clarified that no deal will happen before Monday's deadline.
