The England international had agreed personal terms on a £35m move to the Premier League champions last month.However, Palace withdrew from negotiations after failing to secure a suitable replacement, leaving Guehi's dream transfer in tatters.Despite his disappointment, the 25-year-old has maintained his excellent form for the Eagles, who defeated Liverpool on penalties in the Community Shield before securing a 2-1 Premier League victory on Saturday to extend their club-record unbeaten streak across all competitions to 18 matches.Nevertheless, Guehi's future appears destined to lie away from Selhurst Park, reports the Liverpool Echo. "I'm focused on playing football and playing for this club."But to the fans (I want to say) thank you very much for your support.

As long as the team is where it needs to be I'm happy."When you've tasted success you're definitely not satisfied and do want more. If we keep our heads down, hopefully we can have many more opportunities."The Reds tabled an opening bid of £35m to Palace just 48 hours before the window slammed shut, including a 10% sell-on clause.And whilst the Eagles had been demanding £40m, a compromise was finally reached on deadline day to permit Guehi to complete his medical before the 7pm deadline.Following the completion of his medical examination in London, the centre-back appeared poised to pen a five-year deal at Anfield.However, Palace's own pursuit of a replacement collapsed when Brighton's Julio Igor, who was on the verge of a loan switch, was targeted by West Ham United, prompting a dramatic U-turn.This created a domino effect for Guehi's proposed switch to Merseyside, with Eagles manager Oliver Glasner demanding that a suitable replacement must be secured.Palace managed to confirm French youth international Jaydee Canvot on a four-year contract, though the 19-year-old is not considered ready to fill Guehi's boots at this point in his development.Join our new WhatsApp community and receive your daily dose of Mirror Football content.
