Liverpool are growing increasingly confident that they can secure a late deal for Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi - with staff in London ready to complete a medical if they do get the green light.

The Reds have been linked with the centre-half all summer and Guehi's future has been the main talking point during the Eagles' opening games of the season.

He will be out of contract next summer and has no plan to extend his stay at Selhurst Park.

Palace accept that they may have to cash in, although boss Oliver Glasner has made it clear they have to retain the defender as they'll be unable to replace him.

Liverpool will not pay over the odds for a player who will be free in 12 months time.

Their £35million offer remains on the table, leaving the Eagles with a decision to make, and Liverpool have staff ready and waiting in the capital should they get the chance to do a medical with the deal likely to go down to the wire.

Guehi helped Palace win the FA Cup last season and then beat the Reds in the Community Shield.

He produced a stunning strike on Sunday night to help see off Aston Villa in what could be his last appearance for the Eagles.

Glasner made his feelings clear afterwards as he said: "I told the chairman we have to keep Marc if we want to play a successful season.

He is one of our key players - he is our captain."

Palace have already sold Eberechi Eze this summer, banking £68m, and Glasner will be loathed to see another of his leading lights leave.
