Liverpool have spent big this summer with Arne Slot showing no signs of slowing down any time soon.

The Reds are on the cusp of welcoming Hugo Ekitike as their seventh signing this summer with the Dutchman clearly looking to rebuild his first-team squad.

Liverpool are still on the hunt for a new centre-back this summer with Marc Guehi being the main player linked with a move.

Indeed, others such as Giovanni Leoni have also entered the frame, but with Guehi’s Premier League experience and the fact he only has a year left on his deal, he’s the more likely candidate to join.

“I think Palace would be willing to cash in rather than face losing him for free next summer, but he’s got the power in his hands,” Ornstein said.

“He’s got the power in his hands, he’s very happy at Crystal Palace by the sounds of it, and I don’t think he’d be afraid to go to the end of his deal.

“It doesn’t seem like a new contract is on the agenda, and I think Marc Guehi, with total respect to Crystal Palace, is going to be playing at the very top in Champions League football, whether it’s sooner or later.”

As mentioned, Liverpool are still on the lookout for ways to improve their ranks despite already spending close to £200million this summer.

And, it’s hard to look past Guehi as the stand-out target.
