Liverpool have been one of the busiest Premier League teams in the transfer market this summer.

Indeed, Liverpool will need to sell a fair few members of their first-team squad before being able to register any additions, but it seems like they have a new priority target.

Over the last week or so, links between Liverpool and Marc Guehi have surfaced.

“Advanced talks are taking place between Liverpool and the 24 y/o centre-back, with Liverpool trying to close the deal.

“England international remains under contract with Crystal Palace until 2027.”

Seeing as though Guehi only has a year left on his deal at Selhurst Park, there’s no doubt that the Englishman will be sold by Oliver Glasner this summer.

The centre-back is among the best in the Premier League, with Gareth Southgate even calling him “exceptional.”

At the moment, Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate are the Reds’ starting centre-backs, but with the Frenchman also only having a year left on his deal, some changes may have to be made.

Guehi would be the perfect replacement as he already has plenty of Premier League experience, and since he’s only 24, there’s also plenty of room for him to grow.

At the moment, it’s anyone’s guess what could happen, but with the Anfield outfit now in advanced talks with the defender, it feels like it’s only a matter of time before he’s announced.
