Manchester City are closing in on ­signing Marc Guéhi from ­Crystal Palace. The centre-back’s ­contract expires at the end of the season and Palace have accepted an offer of £20m.

Palace’s manager, Oliver Glasner, said on Friday that the deal was in its final stages, on a day when he also revealed he would be leaving the club in the summer. Guéhi, he said, would not be involved in Palace’s game at Sunderland on Saturday. “I can’t ­confirm a club, because it’s still not done, but it’s in the final stages,” Glasner said. “The result is that Marc doesn’t play tomorrow for us.”
