Arsenal has confirmed the arrival of $91 million (£67 million) attacking midfielder Eberechi Eze — and Liverpool will hope to further compound the Crystal Palace misery by signing center-back and captain Marc Guehi.

Earlier this week, manager Oliver Glasner admitted that his side was short of numbers ahead of a first-leg win in the Europa Conference League qualifier against the Norwegian outfit Frederikstad.

But chief executive Steve Parish has already stated that his side cannot afford to lose Guehi for nothing, opening the door for a cut-price exit this month.

If Crystal Palace were to lose both Eze and Guehi in the final week or so of the transfer window, that would leave a huge hole in Glasner's roster.

It's Crystal Palace's future and we need to add numbers."

But after Crystal Palace beat Liverpool in the Community Shield, Parish admitted that Guehi could leave as well.

Liverpool continue in talks for Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi.

But, you know, it needs a new contract or a conclusion of some kind."

"If Marc Guehi wants to sign a contract, he can stay," Parish then told Channel 5 this week.

Crystal Palace plays the second leg against Frederikstad on Thursday, with Jean-Philippe Mateta netting the only goal of the game in the first game.
