Defender Marc Guehi will remain at Crystal Palace after his deadline day move to Liverpool collapsed at the eleventh hour.
According to the BBC, a deal was agreed to sell Guehi to the Merseyside club for a fee of £35 million, plus a 10 percent sell-on clause with the 25 year old having been given permission to complete the formalities of his move.

He underwent a medical, in London on Monday, before signing what would have been a five-year contract with the Premier League champions.
The deal was however cut off by Palace who were refusing to sanction the transfer as they faced difficulties in sorting a replacement – with target Igor Julio opting for a move to West Ham.
But the London based club signed Toulouse centre-back Jaydee Canvot on a four-year deal while Christantus Uche arrived on a season-long loan from Getafe.
It was a busy deadline day for Liverpool, who also agreed a British record £125m deal with Newcastle for striker Alexander Isak.
Guehi had been a key target for Liverpool this summer after Jarrell Quansah left Anfield for Bayer Leverkusen. Despite the speculation, the England international has played 90 minutes in all six of Palace’s games across three competitions including the Community Shield win, and the Conference League as the Eagles returned to Europe.
