Marc Guehi will remain at Crystal Palace, at least until the new year, and former Palace boss Roy Hodgson believes both the Eagles and Liverpool need to shoulder the blame.

Guehi looked set for an Anfield move on deadline day, even filming a farewell message, only for the Eagles to pull the plug on the move.

As a result, Palace will likely miss out on a fee for the centre-back, who was likely to fetch around £35million despite being in the final year of his contract.



Liverpool, meanwhile, will have to make do without an experienced England international at the back.



"He's [Guehi] the person I feel really sorry for," Hodgson told talkSPORT.

"Because if right at the beginning it had been made clear his task ahead would be to stay at Crystal Palace and there'd be no question he'd be leaving in the transfer window, then I'm sure he would have got his head around that.

"But having been led to believe sooner or later a deal would be done between the clubs, I guess that his head for the last period of time has been he was going to move.

But it remains to be seen how upset he may have been by what's happened during these past few hours."

It was still a very busy summer for Liverpool, even without the Guehi deal materialising.

These included big-money exits for Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez, wile Real Madrid paid more than £8m to release Trent Alexander-Arnold from his contract a few weeks early.

Guehi scored for Palace in their last league game before deadline day, helping Oliver Glasner's side win 3-0 away to Aston Villa.
