Arne Slot reveals Liverpool stance on Marc Guehi pursuit: ‘We were in for him’

Arne Slot has spoken out following Liverpool’s collapsed deadline day move for Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi.

"Richard's (Hughes) ownership, everyone worked so hard to get the deal done,” Slot said at his pre-match press conference ahead of this weekend’s trip to Burnley.

“It would be ridiculous if I would deny we were close to signing him, it was out in the open.

If we think we could strengthen the team, we never hesitate and that's what we try to do.”
