Palace must keep Guéhi because finding replacement ‘almost impossible’, says Glasner
Club agree £23.4m fee for Toulouse’s Jaydee Canvot
Approach made for Manchester City’s Manuel Akanji
Oliver Glasner has made clear that Crystal Palace must not sell Marc Guéhi before Monday’s transfer deadline because finding a replacement for the England defender will be “almost impossible”.
Palace, who confirmed the signing of Spain forward Yeremy Pino from Villarreal on Friday, have agreed a fee worth up to €27m (£23.4m) with Toulouse for Jaydee Canvot, with the France Under-20 defender expected to sign a five-year contract. Palace have been desperate to add defensive reinforcements amid uncertainty over Guéhi’s future and Canvot is seen as a player with huge potential having made his breakthrough in Ligue 1 last season. But the FA Cup winners have been frustrated so far in their attempts to find a more experienced option.
