Midfielder Nigel Quashie's proposed loan switch from West Ham United to MK Dons has reportedly fallen through.

The 31-year-old, whose Upton Park contract expires at the end of this season, had been linked with a temporary transfer to Paul Ince's League One side.

However, the former Scotland international, who has been banished to the reserves by Hammers boss Gianfranco Zola, will not be moving to stadium:mk because of his high wages.

Quashie had a spell on loan at Wolves last season and helped Mick McCarthy's side secure promotion from the Championship.

He last featured in the Hammers squad in March 2007 and has only played eight matches for the club following his arrival in east London from West Brom almost three years ago.

The former QPR, Nottingham Forest, Portsmouth and Southampton midfielder was also loaned out to Birmingham City last term, featuring in ten Championship games for Alex McLeish's team.
