Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish had face-to-face talks with Marc Guehi and his family in the aftermath of cancelling the defender's deadline day transfer to Liverpool.

Parish pulled the plug on a £35million deal in the final moments of the window with Guehi having already completed part of his medical.

The Eagles star was left furious after he saw talks to seal his dream Liverpool transfer delayed while Palace manager Oliver Glasner put his foot down and threatened to walk away should his defender be sold.



Guehi was reportedly considering whether to step down as the club's captain following a frustrating end to the window.

Glasner had wanted to see another central defender arrive before permitting Guehi to depart, even with less than a year on his contract.

But that had not initially appeared to slow progress on a move on the final day of the window.

The south London side did sign a defender on deadline day as Jaydee Canvot arrived from French side Toulouse.

The 19-year-old was not considered a replacement for Palace's captain however.

Speaking last weekend Austrian coach Glasner, who threatened to quit the club should Palace sell Guehi in the closing hours, said: "We need to keep Marc if we want to play a successful season.

“We have an agreement that if we’re selling Marc we have the right replacement in.

That means we can’t sell Marc.
