AS Monaco CEO Thiago Scuro has broken his silence on the extraordinary events of transfer deadline day, detailing the collapse of two high-profile Premier League moves. The Principality club was at the center of a late storm as Chelsea chased Lamine Camara while Folarin Balogun’s proposed switch to Everton hit a brick wall.

How Chelsea, Everton and Monaco all missed out after late-night drama on deadline day. Nizaar Kinsella reports.

Chelsea missed out on AS Monaco's Lamine Camara late on deadline day and now face fierce competition for his signature next year.

Chelsea had identified Lamine Camara as their ideal replacement for Fernandez, and agreed a deal worth £47million for the Senegalese international before Monaco ultimately pulled the plug. Ironically, Chelsea’s failure to sign Camara came as a direct result of Everton pushing to sign Monaco striker Folarin Balogun.

Manchester City have equalled the British transfer record with a €146m (£125m) deal to sign Enzo Fernández from Chelsea, who were left raging after their attempts to replace the Argentina midfielder were dashed by Monaco reneging on an agreement to sell Lamine Camara last night.

The striker's failed transfer was part of a dramatic series of events involving Monaco, Everton, Chelsea and one of Balogun's team-mates

Monaco's Folarin Balogun nixed a move to Everton and is on track to remain with the Ligue 1 club. The clubs previously agreed to his transfer.
