working to bolster the Eagles&#8217; squad ahead of the September 1 transfer deadline<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">In what is becoming an increasingly hectic final week of the transfer window for the south London club, Palace also made a move last night for Christantus Uche.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The Getafe star man, 22, looked set to complete a \u00a317m move to Wolves earlier this week after the two clubs reached an agreement.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">But Uche is yet to sign off on the deal, leaving the door open for Palace to potentially swoop in and hijack.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Despite all the talk about potential incomings, the Eagles also face the prospect of losing their captain Marc Guehi before the window closes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Arne Slot and Liverpool are keen to sign the English international and, worryingly for supporters, chairman Steve Parish has admitted he may be left with little choice but to sell if he receives the right offer.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Oliver Glasner was however adamant his club must keep hold of Guehi after they recorded their first ever European win at Selhurst Park last Thursday.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;We are very, very late to find replacements,&#8217; the Austrian admitted.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;I think we could have behaved much better than we did. It&#8217;s not the best way to start the season. I think we are below the edge.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;If Marc [Guehi] leaves maybe I will try my boots because I was a centre back. We have to act. It&#8217;s Crystal Palace&#8217;s future and we need to add numbers.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Palace have only brought in Borna Sosa from Ajax and goalkeeper Walter Benitez on a free transfer so far this summer.<\/p>\n<p>            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/DailyMailSport\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n  <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/636x90_facebook_ad_sport.png\" width=\"636\" height=\"90\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<p>                    Share or comment on this article:<br \/>\n                        Crystal Palace closing in on \u00a326m Spanish international as replacement for Eberechi Eze after his \u00a368m Arsenal move<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"By SIMON JONES and GETHIN HICKS, TRAINEE REPORTER Published: 18:11 EDT, 26 August 2025 | Updated: 20:05 EDT,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":178702,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[45],"tags":[5407,9438,211,28219,1318,2676,216,220,221,128,1926,62,11131,1525,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-178701","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-soccer","8":"tag-arsenal","9":"tag-crystal-palace","10":"tag-dailymail","11":"tag-eberechi-eze","12":"tag-football","13":"tag-london","14":"tag-manchester-city","15":"tag-premier-league","16":"tag-soccer","17":"tag-spain","18":"tag-sport","19":"tag-sports","20":"tag-tottenham-hotspur","21":"tag-transfer-news","22":"tag-united-states","23":"tag-unitedstates","24":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115098601646959868","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/178701","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=178701"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/178701\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/178702"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=178701"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=178701"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=178701"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
