Ross Barkley pulled out of his move to Chelsea after having second thoughts during his medical.
Everton midfielder Barkley was at Chelsea's Cobham training ground undergoing his assessments after the two clubs agreed a fee reports the Mirror.
A deal worth £30million was set to be completed in the final moments of Deadline Day.
But Barkley decided against the move while he was on the treatment table and has instead opted to remain at Everton.
Chelsea could yet make a move for Barkley in January, after feeling that the England international might need time.
Everton majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri told Sky Sports News: "Technically he will be with us because he's under contract for another year.
"It is a bit of a surprise but that's football."
It is yet another blow for Chelsea, who also missed out on the signing of Fernando Llorente to Tottenham during the final day.
However, a deal for Torino right-back Davide Zappacosta is agreed , despite not yet confirmed.
