Metalist Kharkiv midfielder Taison has returned home to Brazil after talks with Chelsea. The Daily Mail says the attacking midfielder has been given a deadline of January 10 to move to Chelsea or be forced to stay with Metalist.
Although his complicated work permit issues have now been resolved and he is free to play in the UK, Chelsea cannot agree a fee with the Ukrainian side.
The midfielder believed the move would happen at the beginning of the month after talks in London in January.
