Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner is unwilling to guarantee that Eberechi Eze will still be at the club beyond the summer transfer window.

Arsenal remain interested in Eze, whose £68million release clause expires on August 15, having held talks with the player's representatives earlier this summer. Standard Sport understands the Gunners may need to make space in the squad before moving for the England international.

Tottenham have long been linked with interest in Eze, and are expected to enter the transfer market for a No10 following James Maddison's knee injury.

Asked on Friday if Eze will be at Palace player beyond August, Glasner replied: "He will play on Sunday, definitely. Marc Guehi, too.”

Guehi has also attracted interest this summer, with Liverpool and Newcastle credited with ongoing interest.

Tottenham failed with a £70million bid for the centre-back in January, though are not expected to return this summer with Cristian Romero staying put.

Reports have suggested that Chelsea could reignite their own interest in Guehi after seeing Levi Colwill ruled out for the majority of the season with a serious knee injury.
