Yepes Fears Medical!

Last updated : 14 August 2007 By Footy Mad - Editor

They say Sam Allardyce wants to sign Yepes on a free transfer, while the French outfit value him at 2m.

But that is not all, the Chronicle claims: "Yepes is not keen on doing what Cacapa did - coming to Tyneside so that Big Sam's medical team can run the rule over him".

So, another medical problem. At the weekend the Sunday Mirror claimed Kieron Dyer failed his medical at Upton Park when West Ham tried to sign the England international. Something the player ... and Newcastle United ... say is "ridiculous".

We all know Dyer's career has been hit by injury after injury, but he DID get an "all clear" at West Ham, and that was not the reason the deal fell through.
