Manchester City have pulled out of a deal to sign John Arne Riise's younger brother Bjorn Helge because the transfer fee could not be agreed.

City boss Kevin Keegan insists that the transfer isn't completely dead yet but that the asking fee needs to be lowered.

Asenlund want £1 million for the 18-year-old.
