Marc Guehi has been named in Crystal Palace's starting XI for their Premier League clash with Aston Villa this evening amid Liverpool's transfer interest in the defender.

The Reds are hoping to land the England centre-back before Monday night's 7pm transfer window deadline.

A bid worth £35 million was submitted earlier this week after club-to-club talks.

Palace are understood to be desperate to keen hold of Guehi, who captains Palace against Villa.

The Eagles are said to have enquired about Joe Gomez but the ECHO understands that there are no plans to let the versatile defender leave.

Saturday's bid for Guehi is understood to include a ten per cent sell-on clause but Palace are holding out for closer to £40m for a player who will leave the club on a free next summer.

Oliver Glasner has repeatedly admitted his determination to keep hold of the 25-year-old for the campaign.

However, it's likely that Palace won't want to let their star player depart as a free agent.

“Yes, of course, for players of that calibre to leave on a free, it is a problem for a football club,” Eagles chairman Steve Parish said.

Liverpool remain interested in a deal for the Swede.

Meanwhile, Marc Guehi has been a player of interest all summer and Liverpool could still launch a last-minute deal for the Crystal Palace defender.
