But Liverpool for me is the best city in the world, so if he does join that’s where he’ll be going, so just enjoy Liverpool. But I hope he doesn’t, because I think he’d improve them.”Rooney impressed by ‘special’ GuehiWith more than three months to go before the January window opens, it is impossible to say whether Liverpool will be in a position where they feel they need to go for Guehi in the winter.However, the Reds have shown before that they will move transfers forward if they feel the need to.In January 2022 they moved quickly to stop Luis Diaz joining Tottenham, for example, and Rooney has suggested it may be worth doing so again in order to land the ‘special’ Guehi.“I think he’s a special player,” raved the Premier League legend.

“He’s a good size, he’s not the tallest but he’s good in the air, he can play with both feet, he’s aggressive.“I think he’ll be a really top player in the next few years. Will he be at Palace next year?
