Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner has warned he expects defender Marc Guehi to remain at Selhurst Park for at least the remainder of the season.

The centre back, formerly of Chelsea, joined the Eagles back in 2021 and has now amassed over 130 appearances for the club. He is under contract until at least the summer of 2026, but that hasn't stopped rival clubs from eyeing up a move.

Chelsea have been most heavily linked with the defender in recent times, not least because of injuries to Wesley Fofana and Benoit Badiashile. The latest update on Fofana indicates he could be sidelined for the rest of the season with the hamstring injury that has kept him out since the start of December.

Levi Colwill and Tosin Adarabioyo are Enzo Maresca's current centre back options, but greater depth could be added this month. Palace reportedly value Guehi in the region of £70m and Newcastle United failed to meet their demands when they pursued a move for the England international in the summer.

Although Chelsea are more likely to have the funds available to get a deal over the line, Glasner told the media on Friday that he doesn't expect any major outgoings this month.

When asked whether Palace can keep Guehi beyond the transfer deadline, the manager replied: “I think so. No player from our squad came to me and said [they] want to leave. No one.

“No one that played all the games, all the minutes, like Marc, and no one from the players who didn’t play so many minutes. This is the most relevant part: what the player tells me.

“If one is coming and says they want to leave and both clubs find an agreement, I think it will happen. But as long as a player doesn’t come — and Marc didn’t come — I am really not concerned he will leave."
