A second medical for Chelsea attacker Hakim Ziyech has failed to ease concerns for Al-Nassr.

Issues over his hip and knee has Al-Nassr pulling back from signing the Morocco international.

CBS journalist James Benge reports Al-Nassr are now resigned to there being little chance the deal will be finalised.

Ziyech was in Saudi Arabia last Thursday to complete his transfer, but medical tests revealed knee problems. Al-Nassr then scheduled new tests for Friday, but those also did not allay the concerns.

The club is said to have now made an offer to Ziyech with 'significantly' lower financial terms, which the midfielder is likely to reject.
