CRYSTAL PALACE boss Oliver Glasner has given his blessing to the sales of both Marc Guehi and Eberechi Eze this summer to fund an overhaul of the squad.
Guehi is certain to leave as he has just 12 months left on his contract with Chelsea, Tottenham and Newcastle ready to bid.

Eze could also depart Selhurst Park as he has two years remaining on his contract.
A £60million release clause can be activated by rival clubs at the end of the season.
Glasner is understood to be relaxed about both potential sales as he is planning significant changes at the FA Cup finalists.
The Austrian has asked the club for up to six new players this summer, as he wants to make Palace even more physically dominant, and is ready to sacrifice Eze if necessary.
While Palace have delighted fans by reaching the FA Cup final against Man City at Wembley this month, Glasner has been disappointed at times by his side’s inconsistency.
The 50-year-old wants players who are prepared to work harder off the ball, with Sunderland’s Jobe Bellingham expected to be a target if the Championship club are not promoted.
Newcastle bid £70m for Guehi last summer, but Palace were able to resist as they sold Joachim Andersen to Fulham for £30m instead.
With no progress in contract talks however, Palace are resigned to selling the 24-year-old this summer with Newcastle planning to bid again.

Tottenham failed with a late bid for Guehi during the January transfer window.
But with Newcastle on course to qualify for the Champions League, St James’ Park is likely to prove a more attractive destination.
Spurs have also been tracking Eze for some time but will face competition from Manchester United, with the 26-year-old’s release clause making him very attainable.
