Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner revealed yesterday that club captain Marc Guehi will leave Selhurst Park at the end of the season. Guehi came close to joining Liverpool in a £35million transfer on deadline day before the deal collapsed at the last minute. He will now leave as a free agent next summer.

Glasner said: “I think Marc has already told us that he doesn’t sign a new contract, so he will leave next year. The club wanted [him to stay]. They offered Marc a new contract. But he said, ‘no, I want to make something different’. And that’s normal.

“And for us, it’s how we can deal with this situation? [What] is the best way to get this next step done? And that’s all about how we are talking together.”

Ange Postecoglou’s future at Nottingham Forest is on the line this afternoon. The 60-year-old is yet to win a match with Forest and is already at risk of being sacked – despite only arriving just over one month ago.

Postecoglou urged the club’s owner, Evangelos Marinakis, to maintain faith in him during his press conference yesterday.
