Marc Guehi has seen his dream deadline day move to Liverpool collapse after Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner put his foot down and blocked the transfer.
England centre-back Guehi, 25, completed his medical with the Premier League champions and was all set to sign on the dotted line after agreeing a deal, only for Palace's deal for the Brighton defender Igor Julio to fall through.
The Eagles did manage to bring in 19-year-old centre-back Jaydee Canvot from Toulouse, but Glasner was desperate to land a more experienced replacement for his captain and insisted that Guehi, who is in the final year of his contract, would not be sold.
Palace chairman Steve Parish was more open to the sale of Guehi, knowing that the club stand to lose him on a free transfer next summer, and a deal sheet was submitted to the Premier League in order to get extended time to complete the transfer.
