MARC GUEHI and Eberechi Eze could both end up STAYING at Crystal Palace this season.

Liverpool, Newcastle and Spurs want England defender Guehi while Arsenal remain interested in Eze.

Although there is still a month left of the transfer window, it seems increasingly likely that both stars will remain at Selhurst Park.

Palace have not received any firm offers for either player and are in no rush to sell.

This is good news for the club’s fans who are still reeling from their European heartbreak and the fact they look set to be demoted into the Conference League.

Liverpool have been favourites to land centre-back Guehi and have been in talks with his representatives.

The centre-back has just one year left of his contract but has not been pushing for a move.

And the Premier League champions rate him at around £40million – £10m short of Palace’s asking price.

Spurs are still interested having failed with a £70m bid in January while Newcastle had three offers turned down a year ago.

Toon have revived their interest this summer, but are still £10m below Palace’s valuation.

That mean, as SunSport revealed in May, Guehi could now run down the final year of his contract and leave on a free transfer, opening up a potential switch to Barcelona or Real Madrid.

And the Eagles are increasingly confident of keeping him this summer.

Crystal Palace legend Geoff Thomas slams Uefa for denying them a Europa League place

Attacking midfielder Eze has been in line for a move to Arsenal and is keen to move to the Emirates.

Yet the Gunners are not prepared to trigger his £68m release clause.

With Palace not needing to sell financially, they are unlikely to lower their demands and Arsenal could look at other targets.

The club’s fans are still stunned at Uefa’s decision to drop them into this season’s Conference League despite qualifying for the Europa League after winning the FA Cup.

Palace’s appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) will be on Friday.

They were demoted to the third-tier Conference League by Uefa’s Club Financial Control Body in a multi-club ownership case.
