Crystal Palace have completed an £18 million transfer with Chelsea for Marc Guehi.

“I’m very excited, it’s a great opportunity for me to come to such a big club in the Premier League,” said Guehi. “I’m really excited to get going. The club is taking a really exciting direction with the new gaffer that’s come in. A lot of good young players are here and obviously such a stable club with top players really enticed me and made me want to come.”

Guehi was born in the Ivory Coast and grew up in London, joining Chelsea aged eight.

Crystal Palace have officially named Patrick Vieira as the club's next manager.

Palace, looking to replace Roy Hodgson, were nearing a deal with Lucien Favre before talks broke down.

"It is a project that is really appealing to me, having spoken a lot with the chairman and sporting director about their ambition and plans for the whole club, including the academy," said Vieira.

Vieira began his managerial career in 2016 with NYCFC, leading the club to their first-ever playoff appearance.

He was most recently sacked from Nice in 2020.
