Crystal Palace news: BBC Sport transfer window Q&A

BBC Sport football news reporter Alex Howell has been answering your questions on the summer transfer window.

Alex asked: With clubs circling, release clauses, and contracts running down, what are the chances of Crystal Palace keeping the squad together for our first European adventure?

Alex answered: The ideal for everyone at Palace and particularly supporters is that they keep hold of all of the key components of their team.

However, as Palace supporters know, that is not how football works.

According to sources, Eberechi Eze’s release clause kicks back in this summer and Marc Guehi enters his final year.

Those scenarios take a level of control away from Palace but having European football definitely helps when looking to persuade a player to stay.
