Olympique Lyonnais have refused to negotiate with Crystal Palace over signing Ruben Kluivert (23) on transfer deadline day, according to Foot Mercato. The Dutchman has been a regular feature for Les Gones in recent weeks, and they want to keep him at the club. 

With the absences of Moussa Niakhate and Clinton Mata, who were both on AFCON duty, the former Casa Pia centre-back has adopted a starting berth at the Groupama Stadium. He has managed the pressure well and retained his place despite both defenders returning from international duty. 

Lyon say no to Crystal Palace

The Eagles have been searching for a Marc Guehi replacement after the England international joined Manchester City. However, the Premier League outfit will be forced to find alternative targets with OL firm in their stance that Kluivert won’t leave the club on deadline day.
