The defender is a product of the Stamford Bridge academy and his development since leaving the club has only strengthened his reputation as one of the most consistent centre-backs in English football.<\/p>\n<p>Palace are aware of growing interest from elite clubs and January could be a pivotal time as Gehi approaches key stages of a contract.<\/p>\n<p>However, no transaction is ever easy.
