Marc Guehi's transfer to Liverpool looks to have been thrown into major doubt, despite the Crystal Palace defender having already started his medical.

A $47 million deal has been agreed between the two clubs, and Guehi is understood be undergoing a medical in London in preparation for completing his move to Anfield - that though could now be in serious doubt.

According to The Times, Palace has encountered an "unknown problem" in trying to secure a replacement for Guehi.

It's suggested that the Eagles want someone in addition to Julio Igor joining on loan, although there are suggestions that they may have been beaten to the Brighton defender.

Ben Jacobs claims that West Ham has hijacked the deal, with Igor choosing a move to the London Stadium rather than Selhurst Park, and throwing Guehi's proposed move into major doubt in the process.
