Palace hold Guéhi as deadline drama unfolds and Canvot arrives
Deadline day twist as centre-back Marc Guéhi was poised to depart Palace.
Palace submitted a deal sheet to Liverpool before the 7pm deadline.
Guéhi’s move looked set until Palace froze it for lack of a replacement.
Earlier in the day they had agreed £35m for the England defender.
But they could not find a more experienced option to cover.
Guéhi was booked to finish the first stage of his medical.
The club then refused to sanction the exit.
Crystal Palace announced Jaydee Canvot from Toulouse for £21m.
The plan was to add depth and not risk a big loss.
Palace insisted Guéhi would stay until a better option arrived.
Glasner was unhappy, fears grew he could walk away.
The delay has the noise from rivals like Millwall and Brighton louder than ever.
If Palace are just vibes to you, this shows they are about tempo and commitment.
