Marc Guehi will not leave Crystal Palace in January

Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi will not leave in the January transfer window, according to BBC Sport journalist Sami Mokbel.

Liverpool are among the clubs that are keen on signing Guehi, who is out of contract at Palace at the end of the season and will leave the London club on a free transfer.

Mokbel said on Football Focus: “My understanding at the moment is he probably and is expected to stay at Palace until the end of the season when his contract expires.

“Look, he’s got so many options in the summer. You’ve got Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Atletico Madrid, Inter Milan… all these clubs have registered varying degrees of interest in Guehi in recent weeks.

“When you come to the end of the season you’ll have Liverpool back in the mix, Manchester City back in the mix.

“So he is leaving, he’s going, but I expect that situation to continue until the summer when he’ll have his pick of the clubs.”

Mokbel added: “He’s delivered week in, week out, and the way he’s reacted to that Liverpool move falling through has seen a number of clubs come to the fore.

“That’s the kind of personality and character people want at their club. He’s done himself a brilliant service to himself this season.

“He wanted to join Liverpool, let’s make no bones about it, but he’s put that behind him and had a brilliant season so far.”
