Crystal Palace head coach Oliver Glasner has spoken about the possible winter sale of team captain Mark Gea. His words are quoted by the BBC.

“I think Mark will stay. But if he says: “I want to leave” and they pay a huge amount of money for him – with five months left on his contract – then any footballer will leave if you play for a club like Crystal Palace.

I am almost sure that the chairman of our club will ask for a very high price for him, after which we will see what happens. I don’t know if Mark wants to leave the team,” Glasner said.

This season, Mark Gei played 32 matches for Crystal Palace, scoring three goals and providing four assists.
