Newcastle legend Alan Shearer has hailed Marc Guehi as the "ultimate professional" in his bid to join Liverpool, but insists it "doesn't seem right" that his move collapsed while Alexander Isak sealed his Anfield move after going on strike.

Guehi's transfer was called off at the last minute on deadline day after Crystal Palace failed to secure his replacement, which would have been Brighton's Igor Julio, before he opted to join West Ham instead.

The England defender had already completed part of his medical and even filmed a farewell video.



Liverpool had agreed a £35million fee for Guehi, whose contract at Selhurst Park expires next summer, but Palace chairman Steve Parish performed a U-turn just before the deadline.

Guehi has played in all six of Palace's matches this season, including two in Europe, and has earned plaudits for his professionalism amid ongoing speculation linking him to Liverpool.

Yoane Wissa did the same thing before leaving Brentford for the Magpies.

Shearer said Guehi "did everything right" but said it didn't make sense that he wasn't rewarded with a move, while the other two players got their exists through controversial measures.

He said Isak and Wissa's behaviour was a "bad look for football'.

"Marc Guehi, on the other hand, did everything right for Crystal Palace and suffered because he didn’t get his move to Liverpool as Palace couldn’t get a replacement," he said.

"He was the ultimate professional but didn’t get his move, and that doesn’t seem right.

Their managers have had to constantly talk every single day about certain players rather than the team, which isn’t helpful.

"It needed to be sorted out one way or the other, and it has been.

I’m not a fan of that."

According to the Guardian, Guehi has been left "extremely happy" with Palace after his transfer to Liverpool collapsed.
