Crystal Palace’s transfer business has not finished despite the closure of the summer transfer window, with a talented star set to sign on the dotted line at Selhurst Park in the coming hours.
Crystal Palace move on from late window fallout
Without a doubt, Marc Guehi’s proposed move to Liverpool breaking down was one of the stories of Deadline Day and his saga will undoubtedly rumble on over months to come. Despite looking poised to complete a transfer to Anfield, Eagles supporters were left delighted that their captain will now stay for the forthcoming season after their side failed to secure a replacement.
England boss Thomas Tuchel opted to address the matter publicly during the current international break, complementing Guehi’s “brilliant” attitude after a hectic week for the defender on a personal level.
He explained via BBC Sport: “Of course we had a chat with him. He looks absolutely fine and impressive on the field. He has had a good couple of weeks behind him on the performance side.
“He has continued like that in camp and he handles it (the broken down move to Liverpool) with respect and with a brilliant attitude.”
Crystal Palace made club-record £37m bid for "commanding" Guehi replacement
The Eagles made a huge offer for a centre-back, but they were unsuccessful in their approach.

In bizarre fashion, Crystal Palace saw a move for Brighton & Hove Albion star Igor Julio collapse as he ended the window at West Ham United.
Creating a chain of events, the Eagles now want to sign Axel Disasi from Chelsea in January, something that again could come with complications due to the nature of players swapping clubs within a similar proximity.
Nevertheless, Crystal Palace are now on the verge of signing a talent from one of their Premier League rivals and he could be announced imminently.
Dan Casey set for Crystal Palace medical
Taking to social media platform X, Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Crystal Palace have agreed a compensation package with Arsenal to sign talented youngster Dan Casey, even if the window is officially closed.
Given he is technically a free agent after leaving North London in the summer, the 19-year-old midfielder, who is eligible for England, Italy, or the Republic of Ireland, can move at his own pace and is set for a medical in the next 24 hours.
Last term, Casey registered 20 goals and two assists in 32 appearances across all competitions, most frequently featuring in the ten role, but also as a central striker and out wide.
Oliver Glasner has an exciting blend of youth and experience to choose from at Crystal Palace, and the London-born man may well be a candidate for first-team football further down the line.
