Eze And Guehi’s Palace Future Uncertain Amid Arsenal, Liverpool Links
FA Cup holders Crystal Palace have plenty of interests in a couple of their stars ahead of the new season but it appears that the Eagles could actually end up keeping them
Eberechi Eze and Marc Guehi have not ruled out staying at Crystal Palace despite interest from Arsenal and Liverpool. The Eagles pair were expected to be on the move this summer after the club lifted the FA Cup last season.
Arsenal were eyeing the England winger as a potential wide recruit despite the signing of Noni Madueke from Chelsea. Meanwhile, Liverpool put Guehi on their shortlist as a potential replacement for Jarell Quansah – who completed a £35m move to German side Bayer Leverkusen earlier this summer.
Despite the pair having suitors, it is not guaranteed that they depart. According to The Sun, Palace have not received any firm offers for either Eze or Guehi and they are in no rush to cash in on either.
Guehi has just a year remaining on his contract at Selhurst Park and it looks more likely that he could leave for free in just 12 months’ time. And should he do that, it could potentially open the door to moves to Spanish giants Barcelona and Real Madrid.

In the meantime, Eze could also remain in South London despite Arsenal’s interest. The wide man is interested in a move to the Emirates but the Gunners are not yet prepared to activate his £68m release clause, which could see them move onto alternative targets.
Fresh developments over Eze and Guehi’s stances are at odds with chairman Steve Parish’s approach last summer after he claimed he was shocked that Eze remained. He also underlined his willingness to do business with the Premier League’s big hitters.
He added: “We want to be selling to the top clubs, or to clubs like Newcastle who’ve got great aspirations and have recently been in the Champions League.
“So we have to manage all of those things. We won’t get really great young talent to come to us if they think they’re going to be stuck.”
“We want to be playing in the Champions League,” Parish said. “The reality is we don’t right now. That’s what players want to achieve in their career and we respect that and we respect the fact that sometimes we’re going to be a pathway to that.”
