Eberechi Eze and Marc Guehi make transfer decisions amid Arsenal and Liverpool interest
FA Cup holders Crystal Palace have plenty of interests in a couple of their stars ahead of the new season but it appears that the Eagles could actually end up keeping them Eberechi Eze and Marc Guehi have not ruled out staying at Crystal Palace despite interest from Arsenal and Liverpool. The Eagles pair were expected to be on the move this summer after the club lifted the FA Cup last season. Arsenal were eyeing the England winger as a potential wide recruit despite the signing of Noni Madueke from Chelsea. Meanwhile, Liverpool put Guehi on their shortlist as a potential replacement for Jarell Quansah - who completed a £35m move to German side Bayer Leverkusen earlier this summer. Despite the pair having suitors, it is not guaranteed that they depart. According to The Sun, Palace have not received any firm offers for either Eze or Guehi and they are in no rush to cash in on either. Guehi has just a year remaining on his contract at Selhurst Park and it looks more likely that he could leave for free in just 12 months' time. And should he do that, it could potentially open the door to moves to Spanish giants Barcelona and Real Madrid. In the meantime, Eze could also remain in South London despite Arsenal's interest. The wide man is interested in a move to the Emirates but the Gunners are not yet prepared to activate his £68m release clause, which could see them move onto alternative targets. Fresh developments over Eze and Guehi's stances are at odds with chairman Steve Parish's approach last summer after he claimed he was shocked that Eze remained. He also underlined his willingness to do business with the Premier League 's big hitters. "I was really worried from a club point of view of losing Michael and Ebbs in the same window and we didn't have in Ebbs the interest that I thought we would have," Parish told Sky Sports News. "I was astounded. Genuinely astounded. I mean, the guy's just an outstanding footballer, an outstanding person.' He added: 'We want to be selling to the top clubs, or to clubs like Newcastle who've got great aspirations and have recently been in the Champions League. "So we have to manage all of those things. We won't get really great young talent to come to us if they think they're going to be stuck." "We want to be playing in the Champions League,' Parish said. 'The reality is we don't right now. That's what players want to achieve in their career and we respect that and we respect the fact that sometimes we're going to be a pathway to that."

Rangers vs Viktoria Plzen to be shown FREE to air as broadcaster makes late decision to put game on live TV
THE FIRST leg of the Champions League qualifier between Rangers and Viktoria Plzen will be shown live on TV, it's been announced. And the match will be FREE to watch. Advertisement 1 Findlay Curtis scored to help Rangers beat Panathinaikos Credit: Alamy The Light Blues play host to the Czech side at Ibrox tomorrow evening. Viktoria Plzen will be without their star man for the Euro clash after selling Pavel Sulc to Lyon for £7.5million. A bit closer to home, the right for the third round qualifying fixture have finally been picked up - just 24 hours before the game is due to kick off. The BBC has stepped in to show the match, with the broadcaster choosing to screen it via the BBC Scotland channel. Advertisement Coverage will start at 7.30pm, 15 minutes before the first whistle. The first leg of the tie originally looked like it was going to suffer from a TV blackout. None of Premier Sports, TNT Sports or even Sky Sports had bid for the rights to show the Ibrox encounter. Premier showed the first leg of the previous round against Panathinaikos, while the second leg was on both BBC Scotland and Premier Sports. Advertisement The BBC have also picked up the rights to Dundee United's Europa Conference League match against Rapid Vienna, which will take place on Thursday. A BBC Scotland statement read: "The first leg of Rangers' and Dundee United's respective European third qualifying round ties will be broadcast live on BBC Scotland." Russell Martin doubles down on Rangers squad criticism Should Rangers make it into the play-off round, they will face either RB Salzburg of Austria or Club Brugge of Belgium. A defeat would see them drop down into the Europa League. Advertisement Dundee United would take on the winners of the winners of AIK Stockholm and FC Gyor in the play-off round should they beat Rapid on Thursday. Hibs meanwhile face a daunting tie against Serbian giants Partizan Belgrade and if they make it through that then they will play AEK Larnaca of Cyprus or Legia Warsaw of Poland. Celtic enter the Champions League at the play-off round as the Premiership title holders and they have been drawn to face Kairat Almaty from Kazakhstan or Slovan Bratislava from Slovenia. Aberdeen enter the Europa League at the play-off stage and are due to face either of FCSB of Romania or Drita of Kosovo.
