Crystal Palace coach Glasner explains why the club didn’t sell Guehi to Tottenham

Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi has long attracted interest from top clubs. One of them, Tottenham, attempted to sign him on the final day of the transfer window. However, Palace head coach Oliver Glasner has now revealed why the move was never feasible.

Details: According to Glasner, the main issue was the club’s inability to find a suitable replacement in time.

Quote: "In our situation, it was clear that we couldn't sell a player on deadline day because we wouldn’t be able to find a replacement in just a few hours. It’s simply impossible. Credit to the club president—I don’t think they even engaged in serious negotiations.

He quickly explained to them that we had no chance due to our situation, and Crystal Palace must always be the priority in any decision. So it became clear that we couldn't sell Marc because we wouldn't be able to replace him," Glasner stated.

Reminder: During the winter transfer window, Tottenham completed the signing of Kevin Danso from French side Lens.
