Liverpool target Marc Guehi remained tight-lipped on his future after scoring during Crystal Palace's 3-0 win at Aston Villa. The Reds have been heavily linked with a move for the 25-year-old England international and made an improved £35 million bid for the player on Saturday.

‌

After holding club-to-club talks earlier this month, Arne Slot's side decided to lodge a straight offer to Palace which has remained on the table. The bid is understood to include a ten per cent sell on clause.

‌

However, Palace are thought to want £35m plus £5m in bonuses. Discussions between Liverpool and the Eagles are ongoing and there is confidence that an agreement can be reached in the next 24 hours.

‌

Despite Liverpool making a proposal and a desired attempt to sign Guehi, he still featured for Palace as Oliver Glasner's side made the trip to Villa in the late Sunday kick-off.

The former Chelsea centre-back impressed and scored a wondergoal as the Eagles ran out comfortable winners in the West Midlands, with Palace including him as the focus of their pre-match team news graphic in a clear message.

After the game, Guehi was asked about playing for Palace, his future and his overall mindset amid speculation about a potential departure and a late summer move to Liverpool.

He told Sky Sports: "I am OK. I don't like the limelight too much, there are a lot of cameras in my face all the time and constantly talking about me but I'm glad I have got a good club and good teammates around me.

"When you focus on what's important, which is the football, it makes it a lot easier."

‌

When quizzed on what it means to play for Palace, Guehi admitted: "A lot. South London boy, grew up in South London. Captained the football club from a young age. They have been fantastic for me and my family.

"Definitely a pleasure to be playing for this football club."

Speaking before the game, meanwhile, Glasner appeared confident that he can keep Guehi at Palace. "Yes, of course, he has a contract here for Crystal Palace, he plays well and trains well so that's clear," Glasner said in a pre-match interview of Guehi's inclusion in the XI to face Villa.

‌

"He's our captain and he starts today as captain. "The situation is clear, everybody knows about it and Marc is a great guy and that's why he starts."
