Sky Sports reported that Liverpool is arranging Guy for a medical examination in London, and the club knows that reaching an agreement with Crystal Palace may have to wait until the deadline is approaching.

Any agreement between the two clubs will depend on whether Crystal Palace can strengthen the back line before releasing Guy, but negotiations with Liverpool's top leaders are still very active.

Brighton defender Igor is currently undergoing a medical examination in Crystal Palace and is about to complete the transfer, although Crystal Palace is worried that West Ham may buzzer-beat and try to convince Igor to join.

Until Igor confirms, Crystal Palace will never let Gee leave the team.

Sky Sports News learned that Liverpool hopes to ensure that all medical examinations are ready and that once an agreement is reached, Guy will be allowed to complete the transfer.

It is understood that the captain of Crystal Palace is currently in London and is waiting for progress.
