    Tayo Adaramola has joined Bradford City on loan until the end of the season.

    The 21-year-old wing-back has made two appearances for Crystal Palace's senior side after coming through the under-18s and under-21s.

    He spent the first half of this season on loan at League One Stockport County but only started three games.

  2. Holding moves closer to Palace exitpublished at 17:12 3 February

    My colleague Simon Stone has already reported on Sheffield United's search for a centre-back, adding that the rumours around Crystal Palace defender Rob Holding were the strongest.

    One source with knowledge of a potential deal understands that Holding is close to completing a move to the Blades.

    We are still working to verify Sheffield United's stance on this, but it looks likely.

    The 29-year-old has only made one appearance for the Eagles since signing in September 2023.

  3. Palace rejected £70m bid for Guehipublished at 11:48 3 February

    There are reports from the Athletic and the Guardian that Crystal Palace have rejected a bid in the region of £70m for Marc Guehi.

    We have spoken to one source with knowledge of the offer and they acknowledge Palace have rejected a bid for their captain.

    Mid-season deals are always hard to do but one to take Guehi out of Crystal Palace may be even harder at this point in time.

    The Eagles only have three fit centre-backs - Chris Richards, Maxence Lacroix and Guehi.

    Trevoh Chalobah has been recalled by Chelsea and Chadi Riad has been ruled out for the season with an ACL injury.

    Palace play with a back three and Guehi captains the side.

    For the Eagles to let Guehi go it would take a massive fee and for them to have a replacement lined up.

    The club had shown interest in Juventus centre-back Tiago Djalo but this move is not happening at this stage.

    The 24-year-old is on loan at Porto and it would have needed Juve to recall him first - and that would have required a lot of work.

    At the moment, it seems as if Djalo is going to be staying at Porto.

  4. Tottenham's reported Guehi bid 'highly unlikely to materialise'published at 10:49 3 February

    Widespread reports say Tottenham have made a sensational offer for Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi.

    However, sources tell BBC Sport it is highly unlikely to materialise into a deadline-day move.

    Palace cannot afford to lose Guehi with just three fit centre-backs at the club, having seen Trevoh Chalobah recalled from his loan spell by Chelsea and Chadi Riad suffering a long-term knee injury.

    The supposed offer is more likely to be a starting pistol for the summer when Guehi will have just 12 months left on his contract, with Chelsea also known to be interested.

  5. What do you want on deadline day?published at 07:32 3 February

    We asked you what would ensure you are satisfied this deadline day.

    Here are some of your comments:

    Al: Thanks to Chelsea taking Trevoh Chalobah back so late in the transfer window, we need to sign a centre-back - which is not easy - and a left-wing-back to challenge Tyrick Mitchell. The purchase of Romain Esse adds to our attacking options, but with Cheick Doucoure injured, we have to hope Adam Wharton stays fit. It appears to be another hit-and-miss, underwhelming transfer window by Palace.

    Simon: If we manage to sign Ben Chilwell, then we would still need another central defender. Rob Holding is unlikely to ever play for the club again, so he needs to leave. Jake Clarke-Salter would be a good addition if QPR were amenable to letting him go.

    Simon: Cover for Mitchell at left wing-back. His fabulous fitness record must give out eventually!

    Rich: We have to bring in competition for Mitchell at left wing-back and someone who is more suited to going forward. I love Tyrick, but everything is down to Eberechi Eze to produce an end product on the left. Unfortunately another centre-back is required for cover, as injuries mount up and we have a very small pool of players good enough to start in the Premier League. Once again, we have been so slow sorting new players coming in, as Oliver Glasner has mentioned.

    Gary: A left wing-back is essential because if Mitchell gets a serious injury, we will really struggle. Chilwell isn't the answer given his lack of playing time and injury history. We've had four years to find cover for Mitchell, so it's not just this window. Chilwell is an excellent player, but can he remain fit?

    It seems bizarre to recall that after eight games this season, Crystal Palace had just three points and there were genuine fears they were in for a prolonged relegation scrap.

    Those concerns have proved unfounded as they have edged up the table to 12th and within striking distance of successive top 10 top-flight finishes for the first time since the 1990s.

    Oliver Glasner has clearly worked particularly hard on his defensive unit.

    Had Newcastle got their way, Marc Guehi would not have been part of it. On this evidence, it was easy to see why Palace fought so hard to keep their captain.

    Guehi is quick, strong and composed on the ball. But he is not on his own. USA international Chris Richards was not fazed by facing Alejandro Garnacho's trickery, while Frenchman Maxence Lacroix also excelled, finding time to test Andre Onana at the other end as Palace took control of the contest in the middle of the opening period.

    Behind them, former Manchester United keeper Dean Henderson also had a positive afternoon. One low save at the start of the second half ensured Bruno Fernandes' low shot did not find the net and, shortly afterwards, he thwarted Manuel Ugarte with a feet-first save from the Uruguay midfielder's hooked volley.

    The well-drilled defensive unit meant Palace had a strong foothold in the game by the time Eberechi Eze made his introduction and impact.

    His extra quality, combined with Jean-Philippe Mateta's sure finishing, meant it was the Palace fans celebrating at the end.

    We asked for your thoughts after Sunday's Premier League game between Manchester United and Crystal Palace.

    Here are some of your comments:

    Steve: We were pretty ordinary in the first half, having missed a few chances, but Manchester United are in a worse state at the moment. In the second half, we gained confidence and scored two great goals. We are getting better again, as we were at the end of last season, but we need to sharpen up on our passing accuracy and keeping the ball.

    Colin: An excellent away display from Oliver Glasner's side. A mature display and much improved compared to the start of the season. He has certainly started to get the best out of Jean-Philippe Mateta.

    Nick: A thoroughly deserved win. I'm proud of the boys. Adam Wharton and Eberechi Eze showed their class, the defence was solid and JP is on fire. Chris Richards also had a great game.

    Adrian: Oliver Glasner is an elite football coach. It is blindingly obvious to us Palace fans. We are very happy with him. No offence but he is a class above Ruben Amorim. With a tad more backing, Palace could become a force.

    Lee: A superb performance from everyone involved. Imagine where we would be if the board backed Glasner in the transfer market! He is the best manager we have had since Steve Coppell.

    Martin: Palace have 27 points from their past 16 games, which is top-10 form. The recruitment has been excellent, from the coach to the players. They are young and have ambition. We are never going to win the Premier League but it's a joy to see the team I've supported for 50 years be so well run and firmly established in the top flight.

  11. Glasner expects 'one more'published at 19:59 2 February

    There have been a lot of rumours linking England and Chelsea left-back Ben Chilwell with Crystal Palace in recent days.

    I asked Palace manager Oliver Glasner about whether the rumours could become reality on the final day of the window.

    Glasner could have said no.

    But he didn't.

    "I expect one more signing on a position where we have just one player playing with his good foot there," he said. "Let's see who it will be."

    With Morocco international Chadi Riad ruled out for the rest of the season with a knee injury, Tyrick Mitchell is Palace's only fit left-footed defender.

    Chilwell is left-footed.

  12. 'A big win - we stay humble and keep going'published at 17:12 2 February

    Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner has been speaking to Sky Sports about the result: "The second goal is everything. We are always talking about it and I am delighted that it started with Adam Wharton playing a great one-touch pass. It was really great to watch. A big win - we stay humble and keep going."

    On Jean-Philippe Mateta's form: "It is him, it is JP. The first goal was after a set play and he is where he has to be as a number nine. He makes so many runs where he doesn't get the ball, but we demand and encourage him. Everything he is doing, he is doing it [for a reason] and of course we are delighted with his form."

    On any further transfers: "One more day to go, let's see what happens. I think we will have at least one more signing - we need one. I'm trying not to talk about where it will be, but I think everyone can imagine. I think this signing will happen.

    "Maybe we are also looking for a centre-back. It's not a must, but I'm pretty confident that there will be one signing."

  13. 'The defenders made my day easy'published at 16:47 2 February

    Crystal Palace goalkeeper Dean Henderson has been speaking to BBC Match of the Day about the result: "You put in that hard work every day to become a team that is hard to beat."

    On the defence he has got in front of him: "They are loads better from the start of the season. We had new players come in and the positions have evolved. They have been fantastic and they made my day easy."

    On whether the win is even more special as a former Manchester United player: "Obviously it is nice to come back and get the win [at Old Trafford], but more importantly to get the three points and keep climbing up the table."

  14. 'We listened to the gaffer and worked hard'published at 16:39 2 February

    Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta has been speaking following the win at Old Trafford: "I'm feeling fantastic! We won these three points. We worked hard and I am very happy."

    On the game plan they had to beat Manchester United: "We know how they play with the new manager. We worked on a plan during the week and we stuck to the plan. We listened to the gaffer and worked hard, and I think we deserve this win."

    On scoring his brace: "I just put my head down and worked hard. I think sometimes when you do that, you get the reward."

    After failing to win any of their first 10 visits to Old Trafford in the Premier League - a run that included nine straight defeats - Crystal Palace have now won four of their last six away matches against Manchester United (L2).

    The Eagles have also won back-to-back visits to Old Trafford for only the second time in the competition.

    No player has scored more Premier League goals in 2025 than Jean-Philippe Mateta. His six goals are level with Chris Wood and Phil Foden. After his brace in this game, the Frenchman has netted 26 goals since the start of last season.

  17. Sutton's predictions: Man Utd v Crystal Palacepublished at 09:57 2 February

    Sutton's predictions graphic

    I was wrong when I said Manchester United would lose at Fulham last week, which a few people happily reminded me about on social media.

    It was not exactly a convincing win, but maybe things will click for them here - I have my doubts though.

    I have got a bit of sympathy for United striker Rasmus Hojlund, who is getting some criticism at the moment. He was signed as a development player, albeit an expensive one, but it has not happened for him.

    There are two sides to his situation though. I feel sorry for him because he needs a run of games to find some rhythm, but he also needs to take his chances when they come, and do better at some of the basics, like holding the ball up.

    He's not the only player at United in that situation, with something to prove.

    Maybe they will become a free-scoring side again, but that probably won't happen here and it still feels like we are totally guessing about what they will do each week.

    Crystal Palace lost at home to Brentford on Sunday, which was a bit of a surprise because they have been so solid recently.

    The Eagles won at Old Trafford last season, but this game has got a draw written all over it.

    Sutton's prediction: 1-1
